What! China has weapons of mass destruction? They are brutal to their people? They support and protect terrorist countries? They kill innocent people?
GWB had better invade right away!

And it sucks that since 1980 a boycott is always brought up.
It's an event to showcase the greatest athletes in the world.
Look at the past 10 Olympics.
1964 Tokyo-didn't they bomb us 2 decades earlier?
1968 Mexico City-oppresive government, etc
1972 Munich-unfortunately a few countries should have boycotted the way it ended.
1976 Ok, everyone likes Canucks.
1980 Moscow-we did boycott, regretably. Anyone remember why?
1984 LA-Lots of countries hate us!
1988 Seoul-Any number of countries had a reason to boycott.
1992 Barcelona-ETA terrorists, etc
1996 Atlanta-How many countries disagree with us?
2000 Sydney-Didn't they treat the Aboriginies badly?
2004 Athens-there were lots of protests by workers in Greece over wages.
So every year some polititian in some country can find a reason to boycott over some issue.

Let the competitors play and put the politics on hold.
