Olympics Boycott

Early today manifestations in Paris forced officials of the Olympics Committee to turn off the torch 5 times. A lot of protesters are trying to get the international attention to the China-Tibet conflict. A lot of monks and Tibetans revolutionists were arrested a few days ago in connection to riots back in China. The French President Nicolas Sarkozy is pushing for also a boycott if China is not in talks with the Dalai Lama. Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of The House also suggested such a decision to President Bush who intends to attend the festivities as a "sports fan" according to his staff.
China has become a Power House, most of the U.S debt is owed to the Chinese government, the whole world is in business with them and they hold most of the financial assets in the market. So a boycott might not only hurt them but also the rest of the world, yes China is still behind when it comes to human rights and political views, but people need to understand the cultural gap between them and the rest of the world. Whatever we see as an outrage is just business as usual over there.
Nothing is going to stop the Olympics we can keep voicing our concerns about China and Tibet it's still going to be a success with or without the world. Don't forget a billion of people are living there, so T.V ratings are not going to be an issue.
