Fair enough.

As for your comment about boycotting the Olympics or having the athletes protest, I'd much rather see the athletes protest in some manner. I have a tough time accepting a punishment for the athletes on the Olympic team because of politics. The athletes haven't done anything but work hard to fulfill a dream of competing.

I say that because I remember thinking it was wrong when Carter called for a boycott of the '80 Olympic games. I think it would be more effective to embarrass the Communist regime on the world stage by seeing the athletes do something like wear a patch of the Tibetan flag.
