U.S. President Bush sees sports, but politics abound at Olympics

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Bush leaves Monday for an Asian trip that will make him the first U.S. president to attend an Olympic Games on foreign soil.

The heart of Bush's trip is in Beijing, where he'll spend four nights and days.

China is in the midst of international politics over human rights, security and trade. So the president will have to walk a tight line of calling for freedoms in China, while not offending the host country.

Bush's trip stops first in South Korea, where trade, North Korea's nuclear program and the touchy subject of U.S. beef imports will top the agenda.

He'll then head to Thailand to draw attention to the repressed people in neighbouring Myanmar.

The White House has also scheduled blocs of time for Bush, widely-known as a sports buff, to watch some of the Olympic competition in person.
