Beijing Olympics burns under politics!

Beijing Olympics are nearing fast.There is indeed a lot of hoopla about Tibet and the security of the delegates during the Olympics.Even the World leaders so far have not comformed their presence on the occation of the opening ceremony in Beijing.Sarkozy has gone so far as to say that he might even deny the participation of French team.
As far as I know,the terrorist’s will never dare to attack China or Russia in the future.I have seen the response that the Russian alpha commandos gave during the theatre siege by Chechen militants.China is no different.They know how to deal with the trouble makers.Though Tibet’s case might be little different.Dalai Lama has clearely stated that there should be no violence!
Olympics is a festival and it belongs to the world and taking political mileage out of it is highly unethical.Politicians who are very unpopular in their own countries will resort to these tactics.Prestigius western Tv channels have brainwashed the western hemisphere about the Tibet-Olympics issue.Do they think that by sabotaging Olympics they can liberate Tibet? Vice verse,they will make this noble cause even worse.I really feel sorry for Tibetans and Dalai Lama.
Imagine the hard work any sportsmen has to do before qualifying for Olympics.At least four years of sweat and endurance is involved.Olympics is a tradition coming down from Greece.Time to time countries like US have tried to make a political issue out of it.Olympics is a month long sports festival where sports is celebrated.Sportsmen from different countries live together,eat together and make friends.
Talking of China,they have put in so much effort by building stadiums, Olympics village,beefing up security,training of language interpreters.A common Chinese gets the impression that whatever we do is bad.This way we are alienating nations and not bringing them together!
