Olympic Torch Relay

Ever since the olympic torch left Greece on March 30th, it has been harassed by protesters aiming to disrupt the symbolic torch relay. I have been captivated by this volitle news event and I am in agreement that a boycott of the 2008 Olympic games should be imposed. China is still one of the most restrictive nations in the world today. They continue to persecute political and religious dissenters on a daily basis. It is a crime that the summer games will be held in an communist nation such as China. 

Here are some good links if you want to learn more about the torch relay and the organizations opposed to the Beijing games.
