The IOC made a deal with the devil when they awarded the 2008 Olympic Games to China, and now they are surprised and dismayed at the world's reaction??

Well, except the reaction from a few Tibetans doesn't equate to world reaction. Have you ever been to China? You should go check it with your eyes out if you have a chance to travel there. It's no where near as evil as our media and government portrays it to be. It's too bad everything we hear about China in this country is negative. I'm all for freedom of expression as long as it's conducted in a peaceful and civil manner.

I for one am totally DISGUSTED with the Protesters during the Olympic Torches Travels. The Olympics are a means whereby Good Will, Love, And Good Sportsmanship and World Unity are to be the Focal Point. It is a Celebration in Sport and Good Will! I was disgusted as a teen when we boycotted the Moscow Games, and Russia boycotted the 84 Los Angeles Games. NOBODY Should Protest The Torches Display or Protest against China's Political Decision no matter what it is. It isn't going to change anything, if you want to protest, JUST DON'T WATCH, AND DON'T Go To The Games In China! It's that simple, just don't patronize the games this year. I love the Olympics and what they represent! Why punish the Athletes, from the best competition in the world when they train a lifetime for (in some cases) this ONE CHANCE to be in the LIMELIGHT and be American Hero's, or World Darlings? They aren't or haven't done anything wrong. Anyone who has been to China knows, they aren't 25% As bad as the media or our government makes them out to be. It is a Wonderful Country, and they are Wonderful People!

The westen media distorted what really happened in China as they used to do, they reported the thing totally up side down. Media is just a tool of govenment to brain-wash and brain-control of their people for their own benifit. The Tibet Choas is a great opportunity, and they won't let it go. If you wanna know the truth, you go to China or study from your friends whoever been to China. It's pathetic for the people who oppose China and never know their media fool them and take advantage of them.

As the killing, burning, beating...the Tibet separatist did in China, they continue their violence in every stop of the touch relay, they proved themselves to be the real evil.

And all these things has nothing to do to sabotage the Olympics and the hard training Athletes.

The world has never stop unrest to serve very few people to pursue their desire, and all covered with all kinds of excuse. For ordinary people, we just wanna live in peace and happiness. Why not stop hurting each other and enjoy the Olympics as a big family.
