The Olympics and Tibet - Page 2

This is becoming a big news item in Australia and across the world. Yesterday, the torch lighting ceremony was disrupted by protestors on behalf of the people of Tibet causing embarrassment to the Chinese delgates who were speaking at the time.

If these protests continue through the length of the torch journey - the longest in the history of the Olympics - will it be enough to force the issue of Tibet within the Chinese government? Will it be enough to unite athletes against the Chinese governments policy regarding Tibet?

Who will boycot these games?
