    Mkay.

    So has anyone heard about the they're thinking about cancelling the international portion of the Olympic torch run?

    The IOC really should veto triumph marches through occupied territories.

    Thoughts?

    I know they are planning to take the torch through Tibet. I hope they don't because I think it will probably end up a bloodbath if they do.
