The journey of the Olympic torch has been very eventful so far. It has been dogged on its journey by protestors in England, France and America. Have you any views on this one way or another Question

These non-athletes will get in the way of anything isn't it?

if they are so concerned about human rights violations in Tibet, then why start now? Should have start when China was awarded the Olympic games in 2002 (i think)??? They've had autonomous rule over Tibet for decades.

And do they think China is gonna back out after all the investment to host the games? Guess they'll be thinking, less men, more gold medals for us.... No?

.....I suspect this is a way to get back at China, for doing well for herself these last 10 yrs?....an opportunity for China-bashing...

...situation in Tibet surely no where near to what's going on in Iraq...

...hmmmm.....don't forget England will be hosting the 2012 Game, would there be any protest march then??.... I wonder... Rolling Eyes

people must remember...olympics is a world event not a Chinese event.. disrupting it is a slap to the world too not only china.. this protester is in danger of making their quest very unpopular to the masses. Although I sympathize with their plight... their way of doing it is not something i support.

.....having said what I said earlier, I feel China is partly to blame too - being too naive as not to see this coming.... Rolling Eyes
