Spoilsports fail to hit

It is unethical to disturb the Beijing Olympic Games, says an article in People's Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Of late, those who tried to "hijack" the Olympics may be feeling disappointed, for more and more people see through the attempts of those Tibetan secessionists and more and more people have voiced their sentiments against the "politicization of the Olympics".

As an official from Kazakhstan recently said, the attempt to turn the Olympics into a political event is a blasphemy to mankind. Jean-David Levitte, the diplomatic advisor of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, also said on his recent visit to Beijing that Olympics is a sports and friendship festival of the world's people and it has nothing to do with politics. Before that, hundreds of athletes in the United States demonstrated in Chicago, saying that "Olympics can't be used as a political tool". Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), reiterated the reassuring message that political events should not be allowed into Olympic sports venues.
