The Chinese Govt. is going back on their wordl, the Olympics should just be cancelled right now for all I care.
It was a huge mistake to give them the Olympics in the first place.

Agreed. I kind of hate the Chinese-- not the people, but that ridiculous government-- and I have this sinking feeling that I'm going to hate them even more by Labor Day.

The Nazis held the Olympics in 1936 and we know what happened after that - I'm not equating the two situations but the Nazi Olympics showed that it doesn't pay to try to placate dictators...it only makes matters worse.
Little known fact - "Everyone" here in the US knows about the Jesse Owens triumph but the Germans actually did quite well in the 1936 Olympics - I didn't Google it but I believe the Germans won the most gold medals and of course Hitler used that to help propagate his "Master Race" theory.
