...a far cry from the Olympiad beginnings - Reply to this comment
- 6 thousand police guard the hundred or so Chinese supporters and the Olympic torch. That says a lot about how long the road lies ahead of the murderous and corrupt Chinese Government is to improve the worlds perception of them.

- Antonio Samaranch, the president of the I.O.C., said the awarding of the 2008 Games could open ''''''''a new era for China.'''''''' Dr. Henry A. Kissinger, an auxiliary member of the I.O.C., said, ''''''''I think this is a very important step in the evolution of China''''s relation with the world.
''''''''I think it will have a major impact in China, and on the whole, a positive impact, in the sense of giving them a high incentive for moderate conduct both internationally and domestically in the years ahead,'''''''' said Dr. Kissinger, who was not eligible to participate in the voting.
Delegates said they believed an Olympics in China might have an impact similar to the one in South Korea after the Games were awarded to Seoul for 1988. Those Games assisted in transforming South Korea from a military dictatorship to a democracy. Some cautioned, however, that the committee should not overestimate the effect it could have on China''''s internal affairs.

Someone who has nothing, has nothing to lose. By having the games in China, the bright lights on the world stage will make them come into the 21th Century and realize that humanity will not stand by be silent. - Reply to this comment
- Today''''s election took place by secret ballot, and delegates of the Olympic committee declined to reveal how they voted. Beijing appeared to receive broad international support beyond the developing nations where it has gained favor by building sports stadiums over the years. Sandra Baldwin, the president of the United States Olympic Committee, said she was ''''''''O.K. with Beijing.''''''''
''''''''I think the Olympics should supersede politics,'''''''' she added. ''''''''It''''s the greatest peacetime event in the world.''''''''
It was clear, however, said Frangois Carrard, the executive director of the I.O.C., that delegates faced one overriding political issue with regard to Beijing: human rights.
''''''''Some people say, because of serious human rights issues, ''''We close the door and say no,'''' '''''''' Mr. Carrard said. ''''''''The other way is to bet on openness. Bet on the fact that in the coming seven years, openness, progress and development in many areas will be such that the situation will be improved. We are taking the bet that seven years from now we will see many changes.''''''''
