America loves the Olympics

I believe that the statement that Stephen Colbert made about Americans love the Olympics because we get to go to war with everyone at once is very incorrect. I understand that Stephen Colbert was only trying to make a joke about how intense the Olympics may get. My concern about this statement is this a good time to be joking about Americans wanting to be at war? I say this because of the war that we are in now. We did not chose to be in the war we currently facing and I know that there are many Americans that wish we were not in war. I think that the Olympics are probably the only time that we can go against other countries and not have to worry about someone getting killed or seriously injured by the other opponent. This is what makes the Olympics fun is getting to hopefully defeat the country you most despise in a orederly manner. I wouldn't in a joking manner say that it is like war. I wouldn't compare anything to war these days.
