My wife and I were discussing what a mistake we think it was for the Olympics Committee to pick China as the location for the 2008 Olympics.  We just KNEW there would be trouble.  The Committee was pretty naive to believe China’s promise to improve their human rights problems.  And, apparently, there HAS been a lot of trouble with protestors trying to interfere with the running of the Olympic torch.  And I’ve heard that a lot of countries are considering boycotting the games.  I think that is really a shame, I don’t think that politics should be so deeply imbedded in the Olympics games.  I hope that the countries don’t boycott the Olympics, that would be punishing the athletes who have trained so hard to compete, and I don’t think that is fair at all.
