One Day in September

I knew very little about the events that took place in Munich in 1972 before watching One Day in September. I find it outrages that a country such as Germany would allow such a thing to happen. And then the government allegedly allowed Palestinians to hijack a airplane so they would not cause anymore issues in Germany. Germany is not the only one to blame for this problem. The Olympic committee could have done a better job with security and postponing the Olympics once Israeli athletes were being held hostage. Overall nationalism and self pride are the blame for many issues we faced back then and what we face today. Everyone in every country thinks they are superior and need to fight to prove it when it is completely unnecessary.
