This article is about some of the injustices still going on there. Unlike Jimmy Carter President Bush will not have the pressure of getting reelected in 2008. It is a possibility that we might boycott the olympics.

China will still have a poor human rights record whether we boycott the Olympics or not, Phil. I say let's participate and show the world again, much like in the 36' Olympics, what the best athletes from the greatest nation on earth can do.

I agree Bull. But you never know what politicians will do.

It's crap screwing the athletes by boycotting. For most it's a once in a lifetime opportunity. AND as I recall the USSR boycotted the next one held here!

Anyone that thinks boycotting the olympics makes a difference just doesn't know history.
