However, comparing the current olympics with the ones that were arranged in Berlin back in '36 isn't a good comparison. The difference being that back then people were naive about the nazi regime and didn't think too much of it. Very little was known outside of Germany as to what took place there, and thus no one really thought it was a bad idea to let them host. Today however, the chinese regimes oppression of it's own people is well-known worldwide and as such it shouldn't even have been an option.

The difference is that russia and the US opress other countries while China mostly opress their own people. China sucks but i think IOK takes the price for putting the olympics there. It should not have been on the table at all. But good taste or any taste at all hasnt been IOK's strong side, they put the friggin Olympics in hitler germany. Their total unwillingness to tackle the doping problem is also disturbing. Makes Tour de France cyclists look like absolutists and puritans.
