Re: Boycott of Olympics
That's because once they do so they give the power back to the population of that country in a democratic system, and I don't know where you've been looking lately, but the US seems to cop a fair bit of criticism for their actions from the media (http://googlefight.com/index.php?la...ush+totalitarian&word2=hu+jintao+totalitarian chekkit). I mean I don't agree with the 'spreading democracy' thing at all, but to claim that the US' record on human rights even comes close to a country whose history is so abysmal they have to brainwash their population to stop a violent revolt is absurd.Collin said:The whole boycotting of the Olympics deal to begin with. China isn't the only place where ethics often become questionable, you know? I'm pretty sure if the United States were to host the Olympics this year, there wouldn't be as much international furore and tendency for calls of boycott even though they seem rather content on starting illegal invasions of other sovereign nations.
