Redemption comes.

PS: In regards to the treatment of Tibet, I still feel that boycotting would not bring the right sort of attention to the issue.  If the US {and other countries} really care about what China has done, they should have taken action a long time ago.  I'm not saying it's too late, I just don't think boycotting during the Olympics would be the right way to send the message.

In some ways, its as if the hosts themselves are insulting the Olympics, but the spirit itself is what should be preserved, so hate the hosts, but play the game . .

The key to victory is the element of surprise.
When that doesn't work, I guess I just gotta gun you down.

Personally, I don't think much good would come of it --- it would have been far better to award the games to another country back when they decided who would host 2008....

In anycase, I watched the Judo....suprise suprise, no UK medal, damn we suck at Judo.

The truth is what money can be made from a lie.

Not to say that I'm supporting their press censorship though.

Like I've read in a certain article, we're only going to end up having the Chinese youth resent the rest of the world if boycotts occur. Not all of them will totally understand why it's happening, and if they even deserve it. It's not going to be pretty in the future if ties are strained like this. Where's the Olympic spirit?

Beijing was a horrible choice for an Olympic city.  In between its downright poisonous pollution, the thousands of Chinese whom were made homeless by their government to make room for the Olympic Village, and the downright lack of respect the Chinese government has for its citizens, this year's Olympics was a sham.  I wish that at one least country had the balls to protest China's human rights record, but unfortunately none did.  Notice how the announcers fall over themselves to praise the Chinese government, and how any news of China's involvement in the Darfur genocide or the situation in Tibet is no longer reported.  Follow the money, it leads down the river to authoritarian, state-over-individual China.

That said, London will be much better!
