Boycott, no. You are correct. Boycott hurts the athletes and accomplishes little (True of most boycotts).
Protest, enthusiastically yes! There is a difference between protest and boycott. Protest is merely the people rising up to take the ChiComs to the task.
If Hitler was hosting the olympics (or Saddam) I think most people wouldn’t have a problem with the protests. The Chicoms are as evil as either one.
I am gratified to see that even the Euro Socialists have seen the light. This is not good for China - and they won’t be able to blackout the media reports from getting back to the fatherland.
It is still turning the Olympics into a political event. Politics it seems can not be kept out of the Olympics. That is only a pipe-dream to think so.
At this point, there is no getting upset about that. The Olympics will be disrupted. The Olympic torch has already been extinquished three times.
The Olympics should be cancelled this year. All athletes should be told to stay home. The Chinese should put away the pride they felt at hosting the Olympics.
America should continue to be the worlds policeman and make sure all over the world is safe and free. The U.S. should be thanked for giving so much of its tax dollars to help all over the world.
