Hopefully, it will lead to President Bush taking the same principled stand. China does not deserve to be rewarded for its brutal repression of the Tibetans.

Not to worry. The leader of the Free World will be there, yukking it up with the Communists. Sickening.
To: kittymyrib
Unfortunately true.
The last few American presidents have been so far up the backsides of both Mexico and china it makes one sick.

Unfortunately for President Bush, he HAS to attend. After all, the Chinese OWN us now.

This is one time I would like for us to follow our European allies lead.

Well, that will certainly show them!

Bush is more concerned about how he will apologize to them.

Too bad she won’t be there for GW to give her another backrub in front of the whole world....while hi-fiving his Chicom benefactors.

Hopefully, it will lead to President Bush taking the same principled stand. You expect a man who took his shoes off in a D.C. mosque a mere 4 days after 9/11 to proclaim the "Religion of Peace" to take a "principled" stand? You've got to be be kidding.

I agree. China should never have been awarded the Olympics in the first place. They are a brutal, repressive country and no friend to the US.

Good for you Angela! Imagine that. A Western European with a sense of moral outrage.

Good- Here’s hoping not only “world leaders” don’t attend, but many athletes also choose to stay home. I sure wouldn’t want to train for a lifetime and then travel to a place to compete where you cannot breathe.
To: nyconse
Good point and I have wondered this myself.

She just may be the Margaret Thatcher of Germany.

was she ever invited to the ceremony to begin with?
