Will the torch ever make it?

When confronting the issue of the olympics in China and the torch ceremony controversy is enevitable. Why is China having so much trouble running the torches route to Bejing. From all the previous games i cannot recall so much debate over an olympic host. Every country is capable of human rights violations and has some sort of violation in there past. For example, The United States actually had the nerve to drop a nuclear weapon on the Japanese; we are the only country to ever carryout a nuclear attack but do we get scrutinized when we host the Olympics? To sum things up no nation is perfect so why cant we just give China a chance to be a world player socially.
