Message: [QUOTE="willtalk, post: 3476901, member: 1220"] That boycott will always be a sore spot for me. Jimmy Carter had no right to force that decision on the Olympic committee to keep the USA out of the games. The Russians were justified in supporting the secular government because the radical Islamists were a threat to one of their Islamic Republics on the Afgan border. The group the USA was supporting was the Taliban who ended up being a major problem to them later. [/QUOTE]
