The Olympics which is several weeks away is already creating an uproar in the United States. The torch relay which started on March 24 is on its way to San Francisco the only North American destination. Apparently the locals are going up and arms about the relay and is protesting against the 2008 Olympics. As you look through the crowds you can see the banners stating “FREE TIBET” there are even bridge workers deploying large scale banners stating that Tibet must be free. Local news cbs5 states “a crowd of hundreds chanted "Free Tibet now'' and "Chinese government out of Tibet,'' while many gripped signs reading "We Will Rise Up Until Tibet Is Free'' and "China Stop The Killings in Tibet.'' Apparently China is illegally occupying Tibet in which they are exercising their power on the small Buddhist country. Many feel that this event (the Olympics) could rally the whole world to force China to return the sovereign state back to its people. So far it is working according to cbs5 the Olympic committee will be meeting to discuss whether to suspend the remaining international stretch of the Beijing Olympic torch relay because of widespread protests
