This disaster and the olympics-

My heart goes out to all those who lost their loved ones - children
their parents, parents their babies and children, and all those who
lost their homes and livelihood. It is terribly terribly sad. in the
"wake" of this disaster - with the olympics only a  few months  away,
what is the government's approach to this event.  I hope they will
either tone it down drastically or call it off.

I hope they won't group their citizens together and get them to stage
their cheers and glee for the event. It would be terribly horribly
wrong. Cheering in the midst of devastation? I hope not - and how
could they.
