Boycott China and the IOC.  The choice was political and market based to begin with.  Hold it somewhere else, open up sponsership and promote Total freedom and goodwill.  Show the world that the atheletic community can indeed rise above hatered and join together in a less repressive environment.  If enough countries got on board, what a signal for what the Games are supposed to be about it would be!  Atheletes could still have pride about the competition and at the same time help change the world a bit.</div></div></div><div class="pan_messageContainer"><div  class="pan_messageStats"><div class="pan_pad"><span>Re: How should Washington handle the unrest in Tibet? </span> Added: 03/28/2008 9:14:53 PM</div></div><div class="pan_messageBody"><div class="pan_pad">In an NPR interview this week, the Chinese Ambassador to Washington repeatedly dodged the question (posed by Robert Siegel as I recall) whether Tibetans might have legitimate grievances about how they are ruled. China will continue to suppress Tibet until it is forced to answer this question and talk to the Dalai Lama. The ambassador laid down the usual smokescreen of how the unrest in Tibet is purely criminal and that the Dalai Lama seeks to west Tibet away from China -- as if he could. It convinces nobody. The Chinese authorities need to know that the world sees through their smokescreen very well and get real. Keep on interviewing them, please, and gently point this out.</div></div></div></div></div>');
