Olympic games

A heavy load has fallen off our chests. Our Belgian minister of foreign affairs has spoken, and when he speaks the whole world listens in respectful attention.

After his multiple visits in China he has declared that it would be "an erroneous option" not to attend the opening ceremony of the olympic games in Beijing.

The Chinese will heave a sigh of relief !

I myself thought that the games were about sports, not about politics, but even a contrarian can be naïve ...
