Using Olympic as a propaganda is really disrespect to the game’s reputation. Ancient Greeks started this game without any politic agenda in their mind even when they’re compete against their arch-foe.

Sorry. I don’t buy that for a moment. Jimmy Carter’s boycott was a total screwup fiasco. The athletes of that era still talk about it.

I'll give Spielberg major points for this. The Darfur atrocities are ONE reason to boycott the Beijing Olympics. We're all familiar with the other reasons.
