We shall see how Putin's "ring of steel" around Sochi to protect the winter olympics from terrorists compares to the "Mitt of steel" that Romney put around the 2002 Salt Lake City winter olympics.
Let's hope that the corruption evident in setting up the event doesn't encompass corruption that allows terrorists to bypass security.
I do wish the Russians the best in having a safe time in the spotlight.
