First, earthquake, and now flood, and then the Olympics?

It was only a month ago that the Sichuan province in China was hit by a devastating earthquake that killed tens of thousands. And now, at least 12 provinces in China is hit by flood. China is having one of her worst years in recent times.

It was the snow storm at the start of the year, then the earthquake, and now the flood. China now has millions upon millions of people displaced by the two natural disasters hitting so close to each other.

And with the Olympics less than 2 months away, who's going to the Olympics now? Who's going to enjoy the sports when so many are suffering? I haven't seen an Olympics held in a host country which had so many natural disasters all in the year that the event was held.

Even if the Olympics is run without a hitch, I doubt many could enjoy the spirit of the sports fully, except Sharon Stone.
