DavFeng, I agree. It is surprising to hear that the torch relay would continue now.

The first priority should be rescuing anyone who is still trapped in the rubble. If it takes all of China's emergency responders to do it, then all efforts should be made now. They need to recover the bodies of the dead and properly bury them. From what I've read, the water supply has been affected and that needs to be restored.

Unsafe buildings such as hospitals, schools, homes, fire department buildings, all need to be torn down and rebuilt. Damaged roads, damaged bridges, all need to be restored, earthquake retrofitted before anyone continues with the Olympics celebration.

The Olympics can wait.
