Like you said, there are 'unstable' countries where this would be impossible but there are also 'unstable' countries where it possible. As such, we cannot say that we shouldn't award major sporting events to 'unstable' countries. It is similar to saying that females should not be able to become firefighters because some females lack the physical strength necessary.

Well the the issue comes down to what is an unstable country. If a country is stable enough to provide security that reduces the likelihood of problems to the same level as in the typical western country is it really an unstable country? It becomes somewhat of a circular argument, but I suppose if you're trying to write a thesis that could be a good thing.
