olympic politics



After reading about the large protests and disturbances that accompanied the Olympic torch in London and Paris. I was wondering if it is acceptable to use the Olympics as a political weapon? I mean the games are about sporting achievement and overall goodwill, not foreign policy or politics. Of course China has a humans rights problem, but are the Olympics the best way to put attention on the matter? I don't know, my only answer now would be maybe....thats it...maybe.
