All this pomp and ceremony is all good and well, and all in the spirit of celebrating the Olympic Games.However, I have to ask myself, what does it all have to do with sport? And in the light of China's leaving more than a lot to be desired as far as human rights are concerned, didn't it seem like an attempt to detract from the real issues at hand? Sure, beautiful perfomances, great pictures to download afterwards, but is anythng gonna happen after all the hoo haa of the Games, to pull China to task about its attitude towards the reast of the world, and more important, its own people??
