Re: Out of Europe Perspective (none / 0)
observer393,

As one who has made some of the comments you refer to, I think you make an excellent point here.

The Olympic award should not be seen in the narrow terms of Iraq, or Africa, or anything else, and East End urban renewal has to be a good thing, overall.

Unfortunately, I fear that the award will be seen in the distorted ways we've discussed. Perception vs. reality, and all that.

Thanks for weighing in.
