Back in LA for some weeks vaccation I remember this day - Eight of May 1984 - The Soviet Union announced that it would boycott the Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The Soviets said they were concerned that Soviet athletes would be unsafe in the City of Angels. In reality the boycott had more to do with the refusal of the United States to participate in the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and with American aid to Muslim rebels who were fighting the Soviets in Afghanistan.

Nowadays the fight in Afghanistan is still there ...I wonder who is fighting whom...?
