		Because we received some critical comments by friends and readers of the Athens Olympics 2004 Journal concerning our recent post on the security of the Athens 2004 Olympics we thought that we should be clarifying our position and the situation.
		Back on the Athens Olympics security subject it is a certain fact that extreme security measures will be taken since security has been an issue that the Greek goverments have been worried about so much to invest hundreds of millions of euros in personnel and equipment in order to fight it.
		Athens Olympics Security II I just wanted to add a few more thoughts on the security of the Olympic games as its is now 5 days since the attack on Madrid, and it appears almost certain that Al Qaeda has quite a bit of involvement in the game.

	Athens Olympics 2004
		Tomorrow is the end of the games and the organizing commitee has created a closing ceremony for the Athens Olympics that is meant to show to the rest of the world the way that Greeks enjoy themselves.
		Not even the latest corruption scandal involving the International Olympic Committee (IOC), in which a Bulgarian member was suspended after being hit by bribery accusations, could darken the mood in the run-up to the opening ceremony on Friday August 13th.

		But the real answer is that the olympics will have a future as long as Visa, McDonalds and Coca Cola are willing to pay massive sponsorship fees, and as long as networks like NBC continue to pay billions in rights fees.
		What matters is the sponsors and their determination that the Olympics is a great tool with which to pitch products and make inroads into foreign markets.
		These Games will do for Athens what the Olympics did for Barcelona, remake its reputation as a splendid first rate European capitol that must be visited.
