It's Time to Stop the Olympic Torch Relay

Call it off. You just turned it into a pointless exercise. If I remember this correctly, the olympic torch relay was supposed to call people to the games. If you tell people where to go to see the torch, and ten-thousands come, and then you play hide-and-seek and have them standing around for hours for nothing because you chose to clandestinely change the route, you've turned it into a farce. You saved face, because there were no riots. You also erased any reason to have a relay. So, call it off.
