#1 This is a good move by SS. The left; and all its affiliated governments, have never taken responsibility for the actions of their own ministrations, Obama has already said he wants US out of Iraq and into Darfur....imagine that.

The Chinese are a big power now, yet they still play Putin games, as there wealth and prestige grows from Capitalism, that saved them from oblivious socialism, maybe a light will come on and they'll become moral leaders instead of the duplicitous opportunists that always turn a blind eye to slaughter of innocents, while advancing hegemony of leftist cause.

Spielbergs, first steps are welcome from my point of view, had he understood the crimes of saddam and spoke out; we would know he had a consistant moral principle guiding him....perhaps these are constructive first steps in formulating a new awareness......we just dont know.

#3 Under IOC rules, athletes cannot discuss political issues within Olympic zones, but should have freedom of speech outside them. The EU's Zver said that even though he understood the importance of human rights, the Beijing Games should be spared the controversy.

I remember when Avery Brundage didn't shut down the Munich games even while Black September was butchering the Israelis. They don't like it when somebody besmirches their expensive little plaything.

#4 I really don't care a rat's ass about the Olympics. I'm sure hundred of millions of people, the world over, would agree.
