All this talk of boycotting the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics is as far off the mark as the amount of pollution China spews into the air every day.
Every freedom-loving athlete and country should boycott the entire event. Sure, athletes train for years if not their entire lives for a shot at gold, and it would be a shame for them to miss that opportunity. For some, these games represent perhaps their only or last chance to compete on the world stage.
But no one should support this repressive, totalitarian, murdering regime. Let the games stop!
