A truce was declared for the duration of ancient Olympic Games,and am of the opinion,a truce should be declared internally between warring functions(see Syria),or betwwen nations,even today.
JeanKimberley: Yes, especially now - they are important

Nope, not really

I love the Olympics, to have so many sports going on together is amazing,

I do agree it is very commercialised but so is everything in this age we

live in, but anything that can bring so many countries together, even if

it's only for a couple of weeks, can't be bad.

It's one of the better ways in which the nations can compete against one another, it beats war and economic usury.

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm for the games here in the UK.
