The Olympics are a non-political event provided you aren't
beating up clerics in the streets (though as Matt notes,
they aren't).
China deserves what it gets, if it wants to be
a nation on the world stage, it has to face
the world's opinion.
The world's oinion is lenient enough for China to continue its stupidity.
Though no reasonable person would describe China as a symbol of human rights in the
world, Clinton did give it "most favored nation" trade status. We're supposed to find relief at its status as the world's fourth-largest economy, and its rise as a global power.
