The torch is winding its way to Beijing. It was recently in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
"Instead of being paraded down Islamabad's leafy main boulevard from the presidential palace and other streets, it will now circulate around the Jinnah sports stadium in the capital, watched by 8000 handpicked guests."
How fucked up is that?
Hand picked guests!?!!?! I thought the point of the relay is to share the joy of the Olympics with everyone, not just a select few. Why have the torch relay if no one can see it?
Even worse was in New Dehli - "...the relay [was] virtually closed off from public view except for the estimated 15,000 policemen who will line the road leading from the presidential palace to India Gate."
Doesn't anyone think that is retarded? Again I ask - why have the torch rally if the public cannot see it? How can China not think something is wrong if so many people are wrecking havoc or at least trying to? And why are people trying so hard to keep the tradition of the torch relay alive?
I say drop the relay. Why keep a tradition started by Hitler alive?
