Why China?



The summer Olympics are underway in China, and clearly, I hope the USA comes home with a bunch of gold medals.


Having said that, I'm extremely disappointed the games are being held in China-- a polluted nation, where the government has elevated oppression and human rights violations to an art form.


I've read where the Chinese people couldn't be nicer. The government, on the other hand...


The International Olympic Committee should be ashamed of itself.

If you have a moment, go to ABCNews.com and do a search for a story caled "Broken Promises" that aired on World News the other evening. In the seven years since China was awarded the olympics, there's evidence human rights violations have actually increased, not decreased as China's government had promised.
