Britt's Response for blog #5

Okay, good thing I checked back because I had written this and it didn't post, I hope it works this time.
I do not know if anyone can take away the right to hold the Olympics in China because it is so close to already happening and they have all of the preparations.  It would be a slap directly in China's face if the world told China that they couldn't have the olympics.  I don't think anyone wants to slap China in the face directly because they are a pretty powerful country.
I think that if more countries with the United States, would boycott the Olympics, then it would be like a kick in the shin to China.  At least after that, China could not get as mad.  It is important not to participate and urge others to not participate as well to show that we do not accept what they are doing.  If we did participate in the Olympics then the whole world could turn on us and point out our selfish ways of trying to take oil from the Middle East but not really caring about the people there, but we would allow China to keep doing what they are doing.  If we didn't participate with enough other countries then the China could turn on us and say that we don't want to let anyone else do what we are doing to the Iraqi's.  
It is really sad for the Olympians because they have trained for many many years.  I hope that they can be rewarded in some way.
