Should the World Boycott Olympics?
The ancient Olympic Games have been created with the purpose of halting wars and in order to afford the belligerent parties an opportunity to talk, to learn about each other’s intentions and eventually to bring about peace.
By allowing the Olympic Games to go on , we show the Chinese that there is another way to do busines. All action done in spite of someone should not expect positive results.
The athletes after so much effort, hope and anticipation do not deserve this. It is our obligation to give them the opportunity to compete. We should not create a precedence case, for the others to use.

They want to show the world the "spontaneous" hurrah! ! ! from "their" people.
But, the Chinese demagoges are also dumb and arrogants, in the eve of the Olympic Games they thought that they could get away with another Tieneman Square kind of massakre against munks in Tibet (which hasn't been nor should be part of any imperialist China)
The Chinese should be humbled once and for all, we owe that to nearly one a humanity of one billion in the base of that power pyramid.
Boicot? YES, and tell IOC that they can forget about the money which are most important to them than the spirit of the Olympic Games.
