On the eve of the 2008 Summer Olympics, I'd like to ask the International Olympic Committee one question regarding their decision to award this year's games to Beijing: What were you thinking? More importantly...WERE YOU THINKING AT ALL!!?? Awarding the Olympics to China only whitewashes one of the most oppressive regimes on Earth. In China, human rights are a joke and Democracy is a profanity (Remember Tiananmen Square?). Border regions like Tibet remain under the Chinese jackboot, population controls are enforced by involuntary abortions and "one child per family" laws. Religious freedom is a joke with only "official churches" being granted sanction. Dissidents are imprisoned for speaking out against the Communist government. Why would the IOC choose Beijing knowing their human rights record is so horrid? Could somebody please explain this to me and the rest of the world?
"Enough Said!"
