The Olympic Torch continued its global trek from San Fran to BA this weekend. Given the recent trouble in Argentine policy and government, I expected there to be a larger showing of protesters and other general dissenters. But in the end, the event was entirely peaceful. As Argentina has a large Chinese population, there were hardly any Tibetan human rights activists. Just this one brave guy, all by himself.
To say the least, it was great to see the torch and I can’t wait for the Olympics to start. However, chances seem slim that problems will not escalate further as the torch nears the base of Mt. Everest in Tibet.
