I do not like seeing the Olympics being used to express political opinions. Jimmy Carter's boycott of the Olympics was one of the worst decisions of a totally failed Presidency.
Every nation has aspects of existence that some other nation will find objectionable- some are more generally objectionable than others.
But if we cannot even set aside our differences to allow athletes from around the world to compete in the Olympic Games which have nothing to do with politics- then how will we ever be able to achieve any degree of global peace?
Granted I think "world peace" is an unrealistic goal, but it is awful funny how people that seem to think that is the answer to everything cannot even accept the kinds of things that could open the door- or at the very least won't have any real impact.
