Australia has also banned them. If it ever gets this far. Hardly what I would call good advance publicity for the games. We’re being told that not a word about the demonstrations is being broadcast in China. Its all sweetness and light. Which is probably why the torch relay hasn’t been cancelled yet, as I’m sure the IOC would prefer. Too much of an internal loss of face for the Chinese leadership. Not to mention havin to explain why, after all the censorship.

This is the kind of stand-up-for-freedom action you can take when you aren’t in deep in debt to bastard thugs like George Bush’s America.

I agree with you except that it is not only GWB’s fault, it is previous and current leadership in this country that have empowered this enemy, not just GWB.

Must history always repeat itself? How can good people allow China to host the Olympic games? Calls to mind a similar situation in the distant past :-(

It’s an absolute, sickening shame that the ChiCom PLA troops were allowed into London, Paris and San Fransisco, that too, on active duty.
Foreign, alien troops on duty in one’s own country. What ever happened to principles?!!

Thats not entirely true. I am reading about the protest in the Chinese news it just put in the light of rabid ignorant people who have been brain washed by the evil western media. Just go to Shanghai Daily and you can see. The poor weak and defenseless disabled athlete was attacked by barbarous rioters in the streets of France. A slap in the face to the French. I am much more concerned by the fact that Japan and Australia seem to protect their citizens from the Chinese military much better then the American government does. Perhaps I will move to one of these countries instead of coming back to America. Don’t want the Chinese Army coming into my house and taking down my Reagan picture.

Matters of security on Japanese soil will be handled by the domestic police alone, and that principle will not be compromise just because it is the Olympics, said the Chairman of the National Public Safety Commission in Tokyo. This is well done by the Japanese government.
I wish our own government had shown the same backbone in banning these thugs.

Japan joins Australia in refusing to allow the Chinese security services to run with the torch on the Canberra leg of the relay.Bravo to both nations.

Mr Izumi, reflecting the revelation that the blue-tracksuited Chinese runners are in fact paramiltary-trained police, said that any security role they played including pushing protesters off the road as they have done elsewhere would be an infringement of Japans sovereignty. Well, at least the Japanese get it.

Just DAM’N!
I was looking forward to the prospect of watching a classic Kung Fu fight between the ChiCom and the Japanese cops in the streets of Tokyo
and now they’ve been and spoiled everything, by telling the ChiCom that their thugs can’t show up. How disappointing!
What’s a true dyed-in-the-wool chop-sockey fan like me gotta do these days to get ANY entertainment, ay!

Australia has not banned the ChiCom thugsThe last I heard they had. It was reported on Radio National that security for the relay would be handled by local authorities.
