Recently India's footballer, Bhaichung Bhutia, has said that he will not run with the Olympic torch for what is happening in Tibet. In response to this many people, including well known film stars, have said that they do not support this view and will run with the torch. According to these people the Olympics have nothing to do with politics but is about all nations competing in a spirit of friendship and brotherhood. These people are not naive or stupid but are intellectually and morally blind. For the Chinese the Olympics are about politics and nothing else. The Chinese leaders want to show the power of their country and to show themselves in a benign light. For this they will kill as many as necessary. They have forcibly moved people from their homes to build hotels and to beautify Beijing. They have diverted river waters to build the rowing course. They want to take the torch on top of Everest to show their power and they will kill as many Tibetans as necessary to make sure that the torch passes unhindered through Tibet. That they have banned foreign journalists from Tibet shows their muderous intentions. The Prime Minister, Wan Jao Bao, or whatever the hell he is called, called the Dalai Lama a criminal. This from a man who is part of a government that routinely jails and executes human rights activists and then allows organs to be sold for transplants. The Chinese leadership is a bunch of vicious, murderous thugs but world leaders fawn on them for trade. Will these leaders show the same courtesy to the Capos of the Cosa Nostra? If not why do they show such consideration to the Chinese leadership? For once let us show some moral courage and boycott these Olympics.
