Calls for Boycott of 2008 Olympic Games, in Beijing http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6668485.stm

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/6668485.stm I feel that boycotting the olmpics violates the spirit of the games. Sparta http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta did not have an ideal society, by modern standards. Yet they still were allowed to compete with other city states, like Athens. In 1936, Nazi Germany hosted the Olympics. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Olympics Was participating in the games condoning National Socialism? I think not. In Berlin, Jesse Owens, a black man, won the gold medal. Thereby proving to the world that the negroid race is just as strong as the caucusoid. The olympic games were first held to promote friendship and peace. So I do feel however that the PRC should agree to a truce with the province of Tibet, for the duration of the games.
