The olympics are supposed to be a union of all the nations of the world for sport but the host country is engaging in it's own thugery of a peaceful and spiritual way of life. The tibetan monks are living in peace and live a spiritual life. China, leave TIBET alone!! what a shame to china!!

If the Tibetans keep up the pressure on the Chinese, we'll have another Tiananmen Square debacle on our hands, and we'll have no choice except to tell them to clean up their house if they want us to come back for any reason at all. I, for one, would love to see a massive walkout during the opening ceremony at Beijing, and if the Tibetans keep it up, The Chinese will accommodate the world. We might not have to do anything.

There would be nothing for politicians to run on! Looks like we are heading for the CCC again like back in the WWII era - and a return to the hometown credit lending facilities. Sometimes, going backwards is better than going forward. The WORLD should boycott the Olympics and have a "World Games" in another human rights respecting country instead.

Already, I find myself embarrased at the thought that even one American, regardless of athletic status, is found in attendance at the Olympics. A country that is brutally savaging a peaceful nation (Tibet), as well as poisoning the food and toys that they ship our country, should not prosper from our participation in "games" and "celebrations". The important symbolism and historic tradition of the Olympics notwithstanding, we must all look to our own moral values and humanitarian principals, and DRAW THE LINE at supporting something that threatens us Universally.

I expected President Bush and the White House to have rebuked China after her remarks on Speaker Pelosi. Is it because she is not Senator Maccain? I expect a total boycot of the China Olympics to make China have a rethink about Tibet and Darfur. Cottbus, Germany. Jack, China is holding the world to ransom with her emerging economic power.

Jack, It won’t make any difference if we boycotted the Olympics? Chinese will be very much happy; they will lead the Medals Chart all over.
