  2. L. C. from Canada writes: You do need to understand one thing.... every single country.. when they become what you think they are.. there were many many killings to evolve them. Tell me which country is the most deserve for this olympic?? I can bet you we can always find traces of what you`ve said happened in that particular country. Please move on with whatever had happened. You have to understand the trouble or the time require for a country to change. It is not like flipping coin you can just fold it to other side. Read more and get your information from variety sources please. In term of terrorist threads.. I really don't think it is something we should concern too much. You can say... China is probably the last place in the world right now... you want them to collapse..... NOTE.. I said RIGHT NOW... with all the global pressure of the US heading or already in a recession.. China is one of the few country able to growth against the global pressure.. On top of that, Terrorist is not going to be stupid enough to do something too crazy with china.. at the end.. china isn`t that far from them..and if they do something that silly.. china can just bring.. maybe.. 0.1% of their population and start making some landscape improvement in the terrorist area. I see this is more like.. US is trying to make small concern to amplify as a big issue.
  3. Mia Culpa from Togo writes: I think the Chinese government will term any dissent or demonstrations leading up to the games as "terrorism." This allows them to crack down on any civil disobedience without arousing the wrath of the media.
  4. MR. oz from Canada writes: I do not know if terrorism is the real thing for the Beijing olymoics or not. However I know that Beijing knows bette how to deal with terrorists than bleeding heart Canada does! we are letting more and more of these creatures in! Instead of our soldiers being in afghanistan we should station them at every entry point in Canada and keep them out!
