  • How is the Olympic "spirit" served if the torch is taken through a country and no one gets to see it?

  • same thing happened in Pakistan, right?

    and in San Francisco, they had to divert the path of the torch relay.

    the world disapproves of China's human rights violations, and this is the most broadcasted way of showing it. I wonder what the actual Olympics will be like. I've already heard about some athletes forgoing this year's events.

  • Is this the first Olympics to have so much public outcry?

  • its too bad the japanese people are kept from protesting, perhaps china would listen to a neighbor more than a "westerner". but then, they aren't listening to Tibet, are they?
