It's taking place in China where there have been lots of problems recently. Last week there was a terrorist attack in a Chinese city. Russia have declared war on Georgia today (deliberate methinks). What with China's appalling human rights situation, this is going to be interesting to watch.
At the moment, I don't think China should have been allowed to host the games. There's been loads of problems with human rights in Tibet and Burma and millions of people were evicted from their homes to build the Olympic stadia.
