[vinnomot] Boycott the Beijing Olympics
US Democratic presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama as well US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi have urged President George W Bush to boycott the Beijing Olympics opening ceremonies this summer unless China improves human rights. They have cited violent clashes in Tibet and they have never been afraid to express those views.
Some western politicians have played with the idea of boycotts but there is no momentum for a generalized boycott. They need the unity of the Olympic movement to help overcome the difficulties. Their major responsibility is for offering good games to the athletes who deserve them.The athletes deserve and the world expects it, and the unity of the Olympic movement will deliver it. Any politician who is pushing for a boycott is committing a serious error.
