We have had problems in the past but it was never stopped. The Olympics is supposed to be about the people who love a sport and are trying to be the best. It should not be about politics. In 1936, the Olymics took place even though there was some controversy. This year, it is no different. ||

China would lose their opportunity to host the Summer 2008 Olympics which is not what they want to happen. The Olympics should only be given to countries that respect human rights. China's communist leaders will use the games to showcase their countries booming ecomony and hide the human-rights abuses. You want to send China a message, cut them off ecconomically, or start to make punishing tarrifs. ||

It would only make the United States look narrow-minded and bad-tempered. The Olympics should never be used for political leverage, but instead be all about the people participating in the events who deserve the chance to show their skills. That is what the Olympics is all about. ||
