OK, SpecOps, this is just illogical - have you thought through
the scenarios?
First, if the French did it, or if they employed a third party to
do it, what are the chances that the trail will not lead back to
them? Virtually nil. If the cash trail through hawalas can already
be traced (albeit with some difficulty), do you honestly think that
the French would take such a chance, especially since they would
already know that bombing the public transport system at peak hour
would definitely cause massive casualties?
Second, you've forgotten to consider the aftermath of the Rainbow
Warrior bombing. Do you remember how many heads rolled throughout
the halls of French government for that screw-up? Do you honestly
think they would be as stupid as to take that chance again,
especially over something like the Games?
Third, you've also forgotten to consider that when a city hosts the
games, it's more for prestige than real profit - breaking even is
par for the course, and it's not a given thing that hosting the
games will bring huge amounts of money in, even before you count
the overheads they have to put in to get the city ready. To try
sparking a war over losing an Olympic bid is a ridiculous premise,
even for people as emotional as the French.
Where does Greenpeace come into the picture? Now you're really
reaching. The G8 is currently meeting to discuss WRITING OFF THE
DEBTS OF THE AFRICAN NATIONS. What does that have to do with
Greenpeace? On the other hand, writing off those huge debts is
going to help ease relations between the G8 nations and the African
countries affected, and that's bad news for terrorists who are
looking to these African countries as recruitment centres.
Look, I don't mind you using your imagination and trying to think
out of the box. However, if you're going to come up with something,
please make sure that it doesn't end up looking ludicrous when
placed next to the facts.
