VS Olympic torch

Before going to US, Dalai Lama had a brief stop at Japan and had the meeting with some Japanese politicians. But, our government officials ignored him for worrying about the relationship with China. However, for Chinese government, it seemed to be irritating that even some Japanese met him. China complained to Japan later.

For me, it was irritating that only unimportant politician met him.
Akiko Abe, a former Japanese primeminister's wife, was one of them. We have already forgotten the couple's existence. Nobody can understand the reason why she had to meet him. He should have had the appointment with more important people during his short stay in Narita.

Japanese government says that Chinese government and Tibetian government-in-exile should slove their problems by their dialogue. But, Japanese government itself wouldn't participate in the dialogue. And, of course, Chinese government wouldn't see Tibet the partner to talk with.

In this condition, Olympic torch relay is disturbed by many activists for human rights. Some supports their action. Some sees them too violent.
If I am a torch runner, I want to run safely. But, if the activists rush to me, I will run back to my starting point soon. And, I will wait until they will go home.

How about postponeing the torch relay for a whlie? Until the torch come to the stadium, Olympic games can't start. The later the torch comes, the later Olympic games start. It can be that this year's Olympic will be held next year.

I think that the troublesome torch relay obeys their rigid time schedule too much. To encourage the dialogue among the relatives, it would be a good idea to stop moving the torch.
