Hypocrisy in Olympic Land
So it seems that the some are putting pressure on the IOC to withdraw the 2014 games from Russia, due to the invasion of Georgia. While I believe the aggression shown by Russia should not come as a surprise from any one who has watched the developments over the last couple of years , it is the height of hypocrisy to scream , no games for you while they are in China. The oppression of free speech,the on going persecution of Christians and home churches , the occupation of Tibet , the Sudan crisis and China's role in the terror there , the continuing polluting of the earth without restraint , need I go on. It is laughable for the international community to cry out and try to get the games changed because who has boycotted or cried foul over China , no one. I contend that every medal won has blood on it and every western country should be ashamed ,as well as the athletes who line up to take medals. It just shows winning is everything and human beings who are marginalized and under China's tyranny are nothing. I guess gold and money is indeed what makes the world go round , not justice .

Greetings...
I too have had similar feelings about how China is allowed to portray itself as a wonderful place during the Olympic games recently and I think you make a great point regarding Russia 2014.
Good thoughts.....
In Christ,
