The Daily Reveille
This article talks about why many people want to boycott the Beijing Olympics. The author says that many world leaders have contemplated boycotting the Olympics because of China’s weak human rights record. He also says that it would be more effective to just let the games go on and not boycott them. The author then talks about the last time the Olympics were boycotted and why. He also says that the Olympics are good for the Chinese people so they can see the importance of international cooperation. However, he does say that the Olympics are not going to stop the Chinese government from its oppressive practices, only politics can do that. He also says that President Bush made a good decision to not boycott the Olympic Games and notes that he will be present in China. I think this article is very interesting and the author did a good job covering the whole matter. He uses past and present examples to argue his point.

This seems like an intresting article and the author seems to know what he is talking about. It is good that he included why the Olympics was boycotted in the past and the results of that. I like how he presented what America was going to do about the boycotting situation.
