1. With nearly 100% confidence
I regret to say.

2. I think attempts will be made, at the least.
I don't know if they'll end up being attacks, because I don't know whether Greece has good security in place for the Olympics or not.

3. No.
Unlike Munich ALL the participant nations and their security outfits will be on the alert. That is simply too many different directions and unknowns to try to slip through.

They might though make a lot of noise precisely to distract all those resources while the attention on various homefronts creates opportunities. Some scene stealer elsewhere or nearby to spoil the show.

Considering the turmoil and results I would look to election times around the world.

7. My prediction (based on pretty much nothing) is no.
However, I do think there will be some hostility shown towards the American athletes and supporters. I expect Bush to try and use any such hostility to stir up American anger and hatred. He likes doing that.

8. I think it's quite possible
And I do think there will be anti American sentiments expressed widely. Bush's crap has guaranteed it. Whether we'll see or hear about any of it is another story...

9. I hope and pray not
but I must admit, I'm afraid that it may just try. Lets hope the added security can cope. I'm just afraid that some one with a death wish for him/her self and a death wish for others, may just sneak buy.
