I think the Olympics should be held in Beijing, Do you?

I know that the human Rights in China are terrible and I comletly
support Human Rights For China (Amnesty international) and I disagre
with what they have done with Tibet, but should politics interfer with
sport?

To have an international event like the Olympic held in China is the
only way to bring about permanent changes in thoughts and attitudes of
both the leaders and the people there. But some people in the West
have other ideas...

There was no change to the Fanatical Nazis after the 1936 Olympics!

So you are equating PRC with Nazi. But why don't you equating America
with Nazi? The US invaded or 'annexed' Iraq after the LA Olympic.

By the way, are you a home econ major?

Time to hang up the illusion! Turn to Democracy!

Should we be throwing a world-wide celebration for ...dictators
that deny a FIFTH of the planet their basic human rights?

Should we recognize dictatorships and other crimes against
humanity as legitimate, legal and othewise just OK FINE.
Let'shave a party for them, chill the champagne, and offer
a hearty toast for the ...Dictators!

Actively cooperating in a crime, is a crime. Those that embrace
these Olympics are accomplices in a monstrously large crime
against humanity.

Right, it only emboldened Hitler, as those Olympics and appeasement in
general, showed how weak we were.

Imperial Japan, like Hitler and Stalin, also had large and rapidly growing
economies that helped bring their people into the modern world.
Both still ended up killing off a very large portion of humanity.

It's what dictatorships do. Boom-and-bust. Free market democracies
boom-and-bust also. The only difference is, one starts a recession
when the bubble bursts.

The other starts a world war.

How many times have I heard people say we should learn from history?
These Olympics are almost frightening in the way in which history
is becoming reality. Only today, everyone has nukes.

When will China's economic bubble burst? No growth that high
can be sustained.

It might help, it might not. It certainly is NOT the ONLY way.

False.

This myth has been endlessly rebutted. He was not elected. He was appointed.
After that he used violence to prevent democratic processes.

At no time did the Nazis win any election (although they were the largest
party at one point).
