Is it right to politicize the 2008 Beijing Olympics

I really believe that the Olympics is just another platform for activists to rally for their cause.

 The Olympics was made for Sports.. Not politics...

Don't use the event, the sport or the athletes for your unrelated causes.

 No politics... Just sports...

It's a pity, but every one is Using the Olympics as a political platform.
- foreign countries (for freedom of press, ...)
- China (for its politics over Taiwan with the route of the flame for example, ...)

So what's the reason to grant Olympics to China?

- China tightens the control of speech, media, Internet, the most recently- blog, all under the name of clean up for upcoming Olympics;

- Beijing residence's house forced evicted, under the name of preparation for Olympics;

- AIDS activists like Hu Jia,  Lawyers who defend rights for the petitioners like Gao Zhisheng were monitored 24 hours a day  under the name of preparation for Olympics;

- Farmers who against Olympics because of their Land was forced seized by corrupted officials, were arrested like Yang Chunlin, also under the name of Olympics

China is taking any political action it can take to abuse people under the name of Olympics, then what's the reason to grant Olympics to China?
