Olympics in China

There has been a sizeable number of people in the United States that have requested that President Bush boycott the opening ceremonies at the Olympics. It might send a strong message to China but I fear that it will do more harm then good. If we really want to send a message to Beijing the best thing to do would be to have the athletes protest the Olympics. Still the Olympics are an important time in the life of an athlete so it may not be a good idea to rob them of the chance to compete. In fact, it might do more for the prominence of the United States if the US athletes perform very well. That will be the best and most noticeable example of the greatness that the United States offers.
