The idea must be viewed in different perspectives. The problem in Tibet could be a violation of human rights that can be addressed diplomatically other than boycotting the Olympics. One could just imagine the pain of preparation for the Olympics of the U.S. athletes. And if I were one of them I would feel very remorseful and frustrated if the Bush administration will succumb to her dictates.

The fact is that the only results of the 1980 boycott were (a) a reciprocal boycott of LA in 1984 and (b) the punishment of some fine young athletes who were deprived of the rewards of many years' efforts for something that did nothing. Sure, the IOC bought into the types of protests that we've seen in London and Paris in the next couple of day - and will likely see more of before the torch returns to China, but I can't see depriving another set of athletes of their chance at the Olympics for an action that will do absolutely nothing. If Hillary really thinks some sort of boucott will influence Chinese policy in the way she would hope, she's not qualified to answer the phone at 3AM, or any other time for that matter.

She has changed her mind on everything from the WAR she voted for to NAFTA which she helped her husband push through and now she says President Bush should Boycott the olympics a month after she said that we SHOULD NOT boycott them.....I think she is the worst candidate ever. She has blatenly lied to everyone and continues to change her mind on things that matter. I personally don't want a president who can't stand firm on a topic either important or not as important.
