The Games of the 29th Olympiad

I guess Mexico City was the first games I remember.

I realize there is a lot of behind the scenes politicking going on but wouldn't it be nice if seeing what country does the best would be the world's biggest problem. And is there a more stirring song than the Olympic Theme? And has there ever been a better host for big sporting events than Bob Costas?

I can't help but feel that there will be something happening during these games like in 72. Also, with the rash of natural disasters that have hit China in recent years I'd hate to see something like that happen either.
