Mmmm I agree with Vivec; Olympic visitors would be a security nightmare. I mean if you wanted to get into the US to do some mayhem, what a perfect opportunity to slip in. Nope, my guess is that the US voluntarily pulled out, just not publicly. Further, given how Chicago is to travel to/from today I can't imagine how they'd cope with this. There's just not any room. They'd have to rebuild whole parts of the city - which isn't a bad idea - but probably not realistic. I don't even see what their bid could've been. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
