Earthquake strikes Beijing Olympics?

Is the Beijing Olympics to be held in August 2008 a target of derailment by certain groups using the recent earthquake in Sichuan province as the reason?

This possibility should not be dismissed if based on previous efforts to link the Beijing Olympics with the monks peace marches in Myanmar, the unrest in Tibet and disturbances affecting the Olympic Torch run in some countries.

Those groups highlighting the human rights record and foreign policies of China and Tibet issue might take a leaf from the natural disaster and caution the athletes from risking their safety by travelling to China to participate in the Olympics.

What a pity if certain people take this route to create uncertainty on the Olympic Games when the whole world is waiting for the best athletes to compete for the glory of mankind capabilities.
