I agree with some of the US athletes here who desparately want to compete in Beijing Olympics. What makes you think they wouldn't be competing if the Olympics are changed to another venue if Bejing doesn't behave? My associate over at the State Dept, who I was sharing a few libations with this evening, agreed with my premise. And because this person works extensively with China and other Asian nations on economic matters, I tend to rely on this person's opinion more than yours. And 2008 is 7 years away. And a lot can happen in such a length of time. But personally, I have no problem holding them in Bejing. But I will if there isn't significant improvement in the political situation there, or if we find more US citizens or nationals being kidnapped on trumped up charges with no access to US counsulate personnel (as per international law).
