"though the olympics is irrelevant"

In what way are they irrelevant? The huge amounts of cash they generate? The worldwide publicity for the host nation? The PR value of having a brutal, corrupt government host humankinds premier sporting event?

The 1936 Olympics weren't seen as irrelevant, and a good job too because they showed Hitler's belief in racial superiority was a load of cobblers. My hope for the 2008 Olympics is they will show China's illegal occupation of Tibet to be treated with similar disdain.

And that's before we've even started with torture, executions, jailing of dissidents, kidnapping and detention without trial of senior Tibetan lamas (and countless monks and nuns), dubious activities in Africa, forced eviction of peasants etc etc etc . . .
