Graham wants to get back at the Russians by boycotting the Olympics. Great idea. Make the Russians mad by allowing them to win more medals at the Olympics. Yeah. That will tell them.

Yeah. That worked out well in 1980 when "Jimmah" boycotted the Olympics.

All it did was, as you say, allow more room for more medals for Russia - but, worse, deep-sixed the careers of many of OUR athletes.

Do we ever learn?

an aside: I still have a cute little Misha Bear, the Russian 1980's mascot -
