Last time the US boycotted the Olympics, btw, it was to protest the invasion of Afghanistan:

Also, there is a larger context in which your actions operate to support Bush Administration goals. May be worth thinking about:

If any '' Students for a Free Tibet'' are reading this , i have a couple of questions . A spokeswoman for your group told KPFA Radio that '' China should be expelled (or something similar. I don't have a transscipt in front of me ) from the '' International Community '' because of it's actions in Tibet.
Ok, leaving aside all the debates about what exactly is going on in Tibet a question . The US invaded Afghanistan in 2002 and Iraq in 2003 . US troops are still there. The Death count of Afghani's is in the tens of thousands . Iraq in the hundreds of thousands . So do you believe the US govt. should be expelled from this so called '' International Community '' ? If not why not ?
