The Spirit of The Games

Dear leaders of the world superpowers, have you forgotten the spirit of the games?

Olympic Games, the world largest sporting event, is not there just for all of you to play political games. Boycotting the games are not in line with the objective of having a joint international event. The Games exist for us to put aside our differences in politics, cultures and religion.

It fosters better ties not only among members of a nation but also between the many countries that stay at play at the Games Village. Why then are we putting Tibet into the story? Why are there factions in France, US and other major powers contemplating a boycott of the opening ceremony?

This is highly disrespectful to the Flame of the Torch and the spirit of the Games !
