I hope the whole thing goes through without a serious terrorist act. If it does, then I think that's a pretty good indicator that the war against terrorism is going well.

I thought that the athletes and fans were "discouraged" from being overly "patriotic"... no US flags hanging from their hotels or running through the streets chanting USA.
Greece has had a anti-American terrorist problem for a decades now. They normally target diplomatic and military personnel... but a high profile attack on athletes or fans during the Olypmics is what authorities fear. Furthermore their is always the threat of foreign terrorists making attacks too.. hence the warning to athletes.
