1. The Olympics have always been one of the very opportunities for govenments to showcase virtually all proud aspects their country, cultural, economic, technological etc.

2. With my first point in mind, let's remember that this of course is still a Communist state. Therefore, it will use every propaganda tool at it's disposal, at every opportunity, to extoll it's virtues. It's only natural that one of those tools is the Olympics.

As I said, I can't really blame them. They're simply doing what they know best, nothing more, nothing less.

But we still ain't buying it.
