#3 We have explained to the Chinese Embassy that people have a democratic right in Australia to stage demonstrations

The Chinese don't care about that, not one bit. This whole Olympics thing was supposed to be about China joining the community of nations as an equal, and demonstrating its willingness to enter the 21st century. What's happening instead is that the world is seeing China's true face. Government officials are accustomed to their words being followed without question.

#4 I'm thinking that China is going to have to be put down at some point in the near future.

#5 The Olympic Torch will be coming to San Francisco. I wonder if it will be pay-per-view. In Beijing.

#6 The Chicoms can't heavy hand this. It will blow up in their faces. I hope their Potemkin Village Oleo-Lympics spectacle keeps unravelling. Serves them right.

#7 Maybe the Aussies should have agreed.

With the proviso that the Australian Army would in turn "oversee" any demonstrations during the Olympics in China.

With a live satellite camera crew. :-D

#9 Inviting the Chinese in is easy. The hard part is getting them to leave.

#12 San Francisco torch run should route past Nancy Pelosi's mansion... Oh wait, can't do that because Cindy and the pink eyes are sleeping in her driveway.

#13 And Cindy et al. would cheer their Communist heroes.
Hmmm. Actually that might be a good thing, if it got broadcast on the evening news - it would expose the anti war types as the Communist dupes they are.
