The Beijing Olympics
I guess I really don’t understand why people are protesting the running of the Olympic torch. The time to protest the location of the Olympics was BEFORE the committee gave it to China! We all knew (didn’t we?) that China has a bad reputation for abusing human rights. The Olympic committee made a grave mistake when it believed China’s promise that they would “improve” that situation.
But, the Olympics WAS awarded to China, and for countries to boycott it now is only harming the athletes who have been training so hard to attend and compete.
