It took 72 years, but Hitler's idea of using the Olympic Torch to spread propaganda and hide his country's human rights violations has finally made it to Beijing. In 1936 the United States, Great Britain and a host of other countries enjoyed the torch run and sent athletes to the games on the argument that this was an athletic event and not a political one. In case you haven't caught it, this is the same argument being used by politicians and others worldwide.
Berlin "cleaned up" for the games, but instead of killing Tibetans they rounded up the gypsies first and put them into camps. The substantial amount of money the Nazis made from the games added to their war chest. Hopefully, you all know the rest. Here we go again?
