Bush rejection of Carteresque diplomacy. Oh yes, quite the blunder. No doubt boycotting the Olympics would bring the Chicoms to their knees just as it did the Soviets...snicker. Well those that can’t do... issue pointless insults. If it feels good, do it.
Nobody is talking about boycotting the Olympics. The question is why President Bush should choose these Olympics to be the first sitting president in history to attend a foreign Olympic games. The answer is because he doesn't give a damn how it looks.
