80 Tibetans killed, more imprisoned as China cracks down on protests. The Dalai Lama warns of cultural genocide and demands international investigation.

It would be best to be there and be able to have us see exactly what conditions are present. Boycotting will only fuel anti-American propaganda. I have a feeling these games will be embarrassing to the Chinese. Let us all know how you do, Olympian2008. We want regular reports. :) I agree, boycotting the Olympics will only have a negative effect. It would be best to be there and be able to have us see exactly what conditions are present.

Tibet or the pollution? One prominent distance athlete has already dropped out of the men’s Olympic marathon because of pollution concerns. He was a favorite to medal. Story on Haile Gebrselassie <a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2008/03/17/sports/OLY-Beijing-Pollution-Gebrselassie.php" rel="nofollow">here</a>. The defending women's tennis gold medalist from Athens 2004, Justine Henin, will not be in Beijing for the competition because of the pollution either. I’m against a boycott by western nations from Europe and the Americas. Some ideas for athletes from western countries to protest the violence in Tibet are to carry Tibetan flags in the opening ceremony, after any gold medal winning performance carry their country’s flag with the Tibetan flag in celebration and bring the Tibetan flag to any medal ceremonies. This would irk the Chinese government to no end. If I make the USA track & field team this summer and by the grace of God win my event I’ll have a huge Tibetan flag in my parade lap around the track.

I"ll be heading north. Traffic is bad enough in normal times. With tens of thousands of tourists, not to mention the Kamikazi Kab Korps, the last place I want to be is down there. Since my wife is planning to go back for a visit, and if my job situation improves, I may head over there myself. If I go to China, there’s no way I’ll stay in Beijing. I”ll be heading north.
