    I wondered what other DP's thought of the Olympic flames trip through Britain - just one giant rugby scrum - makes a mockery of the whole thing.

    It means the Tibetans can't be swept under the carpet. Although I dont condone the olympics being dragged into
    this there is no other way to get media attention on such a large scale.

    Yeah right, they shouldn't be mixed.
    Even Dalai Lama is against the Olympic boycott.

    The Tibet problem, to some extent robbed the sheen out of the Olympic flame. Politics and Sports always do not mix together:(

    Too bad that politics are involved in the world of sports...The Olympics appeared in the Ancient Greece as a sign of peace and understanding...it seems to me we forget to easy our symbols :(
