How unfortunate that this has happened especially in the time of the Georgia conflict. I wonder if Musharraf's military will be backing him or the government up. I'm not sure how it's going to go down, but probably not good on Musharraf's part especially after his declaration of emergency. It's a fragile time for this especially with an unstable government already at hand. I, like my family, would not mind seeing Musharraf off his power struggle. If Musharraf is impeached think how embarrassing it would be for the Bush administration. Is it just me or have most of Bush's friends been taken out of office or driven out because of political reasons. What a trend.

Olympic Cleaning
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/08/sports/olympics/08beijing.html?th&emc=th
Seems like just another way to clean the house before the guests arrive. This time, it's kind of like kicking out the roommate for the night. The article states, "...An unwritten government policy encouraging migrant workers to clear out until the dignitaries and journalists have gone home."
Now it's a tricky situation, a frequent phrase I use in most of my posts, because residents who work to make a living are being kicked out. However it is for the purpose to stop construction and help make a sustainable environment for the Olympics. But what is even worse, people are being "waved away" by hospitals for the same reason! Ms. Ma stated in the article “The whole country is very distracted by the Olympics.” She smiled as if to say she understood." I found this actually quite sad. I would even say immature! Bringing back to school days where the best friend neglects the other when a guy is around. When he leaves, things will be back to normal, but not dependable. China isn't being dependable.
