Paul,
There's an old adage: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer."
I too can't believe China won the bid but if you think about the above, it
makes sense and that's what the Olympic Committee just about said.
Personally I don't trust those Commies (the government, not the people). I
was warned by an economist I met at a party about 20+ years ago to watch out
for China. He proved right.
Yes, I'm un-PC, but I don't go around shooting and arresting people who
disagree with me.
Mike
