I don't think that there should be a boycott. I understand that there are human rights abuses and there are issues with Tibet. The thing is that the human rights abuses existed when the IOC gave the games to China, so you can't go back on that decision now.

As far as Tibet goes the Dalai Lama has said that he doesn't think people should boycott...so that is good enough for me.
