Comments on: International Torch Relay May Be Scrapped

Protests Force Olympic Officials To Begrudgingly Consider Eliminating All Non-China Runs

Its also quite humurous how you morons are crying "Free Tibet". The Dali Llama doesn''t even want to separate from China. I have no use for communism either, but you weenies just follow the first flag waving liberal with a microphone. You have no minds of your own. No doubt the two sides need to sit down and have a chat, but throwing things at some guy in a wheelchair carrying an olympic torch does nothing to make your point. Whatever support I had for these so called "monks" is being lost by their own behavior.

It might be a good idea just to cancel the relay this year!
The way it has gone & probably continue to go, with protesters along the whole trek disrupting the proceedings, it soon will be nothing more than bad jokes on late night T.V.!
This is not the objective of the Olympics!
The tradition can be revived next time!

war mongers, war profiteers, war criminals all

Have any of you people looked at what life was like under the Dali Llama. The dude and his followers were cruel to their people. And they had no freedoms. You are all a bunch of idiots with no educated knowledge of history. If Hitler walked around with robes on you would follow him blindly. Do your homework then cry foul!

Make no mistake about it, Bush will attend the Communist China Olympics, for they are his kind of people. They will cheer him and praise him, for he is one of their own, at least in actions and spirit.

"But the city was still far from normal two days after Tibetans torched buildings and stoned Chinese residents in the fiercest challenge to Beijing''s rule over the region in nearly two decades."

And you think the Tibetans are the victims here...

I find myself on the side of the protesters. As much as people have accused them of politicizing this event, the Chinese have gone much farther by whitewashing the brutal suppression of dissent, staging violent protests and blaming the dissidents, and going so far as to attempt weather control over the Olympic stadium. If I didn''t know better, I''d think the Chinese were from another planet.

The best thing we can do for China is to support the Olympics there - where people will get out and experience greater China and Tibet and the people of China will see them.

As far as the torch relay, this is a big deal and it should continue. It is a message of peace and we can deal with out frustrations and intersessions without war.

I find it offensive that American foriegn policy is not being equally fought.

I will no longer buy coca- cola because of this, same for the other sponsors.Their loss but pepsis gain.

Brian,

I tend to find opposing present crimes more effective than past mistakes. US out of Vietnam!

SAMSUNG, LENOVO and COCA-COLA are the Major Sponsors of the Torch Relay, in case you are interested...
