But the point is that China has been a bad guy for quite a while ... I think the term "Yellow Peril" was coined in your country in times less Politically Correct. In fact, this whole question of Political Correctness seems to color this issue. At a time when China is mellowing out, is it a good thing to shut down dialogue with a boycott? Is this the way to communicate ... by taking your ball and going home because you don't like the run of play? In less enlightened times, no one boycotted the Berlin Olympics of 1936. I do believe the British athletes actually gave Hitler the Nazi salute. And if the games had been boycotted, Jesse Owens would not have had the opportunity to humiliate the Master Race. And think of the boycott of the Moscow olympics over the Russian invaision of Afghanistan ... now there is a tinge of irony there ... in the same week Canada extends its mission to Afghanistan the 81st Canadian soldier is killed in action in Kandahar.

i think the opp murdered Mr George and others,,i think the opp are a scary bunch im afraid of them from personal experience,,,if i were to break down on the highway at night,, i,d rather have a stranger stop to help than a cop
as for Mr Owens i think he was the best thing that could of happened that that day,,but i don't think we have a chance of having a Tibetan win gold in Beijing
if Canadians would of had the vote i would of voted no (if i was a Canadian) Marten told bush to ****** off now that harpers in Canada is in the war ,,i cant vote but i participate in anti war protests
i really don't like the opp killing first nation people my daughter is a metis
