    Just playing the devil;'s advocate here but doesn't every country in the world make arrests if there are anti-government riots taking place? The US has had more than our fair share of crackdowns on protesters in the past. I'm not sure we can play the moral authority hand here.

    It goes beyond just China. The Olympic Committee should be consistent with how they implement and execute their decisions on who gets the Olympics. If China is okay – should Zimbabwe get it next? It will be consistent with what they call “the Olympic” values. Or maybe we should have a closer look at their values – if we can find it.

    We can't go to Cuba because they are a repressive Communist country. China owns our soul, so we look the other way at the fact that they are a repressive Communist country.
