Really, opening fire on Monks and Nuns???? I'm not so sure we ought to be supporting this sort of behavior by attending the Olympics - or having normalized trade relations with China, for that matter.

Does anyone really even care about the Olympics anymore??? I know I sure don't.

Been watching this for the last few days.

Harkens back to the old U.S.S.R Olympics games where the
U.S. and a bunch of other countries boycotted the Olympics
due to the invasion of Afganistan. And of course they boycotted
the 84 games in L.A. the next go round.

China has just stepped in it.

.....big time.

Unfortunately we all have ADHD, so the chances of a full boycott are slim.

If we didn't stop trading with China after Tianamen Square, what makes you think we'll stop today?
