>> Robert Bauer responds to my post on Tibet with some thoughtful analysis.  This portion is certainly a valid point: “Yes, the idealists would say that we should declare an official boycott, not to mention skipping out on the Olympic Games in Beijing this summer. I wish we could, but with all that’s going on we don’t need the a billion screaming Chinese ticked off at us as well. They know that they can physically appropriate any of the countries/regions around them if they put their mind to it and we’re in no position to expel or even stop them short of maybe South Korea.”
