I really don't think a country's atheletes should be removed (because the Olympics do concern people that have worked hard all their lives to compete in the most important events in the world), but I do think that in order to send a message to China, we could discourage our President from attending.

However, I also think that if we were to seriously take a stand against China, it would need to be subtle at this point. We're not in any position ourselves to call them immoral. The U.S. used to be the moral police, but we're not any more. We have to get back to setting our own example before going about telling other countries they're doing it wrong.
