		<description>My dear fellow canadian how wrong you are... 

Why should athletes stand for what the IOC did not? These reports on the problems that are plaging China where there years ago! The IOC did not take this decision ligthly and frankly I'm appalled to that they chose china in the first place. The only thing that will happend if we and other country boycott the Olympic is to penalyse the ATHLETES not China. If we do Boycott, China will go on with even more repretion and will close itself from others bringing more pain and suffering for its people. 

What the olympics will bring in China is tousands of reporters, TV broadcast and other journalist to CHINA and show CHINA in what I hope will be it's true form. Just like it happend so many decades ago in Berlin! That event showed Germany to the world back then and opened eyes to the horribles things that where starting to happen back then. I hope that this event now will be doing the same to China. Show it's government true evil nature...

So you see the Athletes should be praised to bring Honor and courage just like Jesse Owens did in 1936 in Berlin... If you ask Athletes to do what we could not do then ask yourslef this question.... HOW MANY CHINA MADE OBJECTS DO YOU OWN? If you realy want to Boycott something let's start by changing our spending habbits and we will hurt them way more than not allowing our nations best to compete fairly.  

Sincerely,
