"Genocide Olympics"

The United States is once again acting like the biggest hypocrite on the face of the Earth. This time, it's about China and Sudan.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - More than 100 U.S. lawmakers sent China's President Hu Jintao a letter on Wednesday warning of "disaster" for the 2008 Olympic Games if Beijing fails to do more to stop carnage in Chinese ally Sudan's Darfur region.

Really? Is that a threat? How the whole Darfur situation is China's problem is beyond me. It's interesting how the U.S., and these lawmakers are trying to wash their hands of any responsibility. They talk about genocide in Darfur, yet they don't do a damn thing about it. No, it's China's problem because they're the biggest trade partner with Sudan. BIG DEAL!! It's not China's and only China's responsibility to speak out against the genocide in Darfur. Every country, man, woman, and child has an obligation to speak out against the genocide in not just Darfur but every place where it's happening. Everyone has an obligation to step in and try to stop it. But no, it's not the responsibility of the United States. It's only China's responsibility.

"It would be a disaster for China if the games were to be marred by protests, from concerned individuals and groups, who will undoubtedly link your government to the continued atrocities in Darfur, if there is no significant improvement in the conditions," said the letter.

Yet another threat? Are you going to fly in people that you picked to protest? Are you going to purposely ruin the Olympics in Beijing? In case you've forgotten the purpose of the Olympics, maybe you should refresh your memory. The purpose of the Olympics is for people from around the world to come together for two weeks to live and compete side by side in peace. The purpose is not to deliberately sabotage the Olympics that are being hosted in another country. That's the problem with the United States. They have no respect for other countries.

Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in the U.S. Congress and a staunch critic of authoritarian states, noted there were calls in some quarters to boycott what some activists have been calling the "Genocide Olympics."

Nice one!! The Genocide Olympics? These people are absolutely sick!! Why don't we refer to the Super Bowl as the Slaughter Bowl? Let's change the Stanley Cup to the Slaughter Cup. Or maybe the next time the Olympics come to the United States if they ever do again, we can fly in people to protest the United States for its immoral, illegal slaughter of 600,000 plus innocent people in Iraq and thousands more in Afghanistan. I'm sure by the time the Olympics do return to the United States, we'll still be in Iraq and Afghanistan. The number of innocent people who have been slaughtered at the hands of the United States will likely be in the millions. We'll have moved on to invading a few other countries by then too.

If the United States wants to be a hypocrite, be my guest. But have enough class and respect to leave the Olympics out of your hypocrisy. These people disgust me. They're cowards!! They display their hypocrisy for all the world to see by threatening China. Yet, they don't even have the balls to stand up to the Resident of this country on Iraq. They just let the slaughter continue.

They need to stop acting like they give a damn about the people of Darfur. If they truly cared enough to stop the genocide, they would have already stepped in instead of blaming China for doing nothing while they do nothing.
