In the wake of China's harsh suppression of antigovernment protests in Tibet--among other human-rights abuses throughout its territory--world leaders have faced mounting pressure to boycott the opening ceremonies of the approaching Olympic Games in Beijing. The boycott has also become a hot topic on the presidential-campaign trail. John McCain and Hillary Rodham Clinton have both stated that if they were president, they would not travel to Beijing to partake in the festivities. Barack Obama has said he would take a wait-and-see approach, while emphasizing that he would leave the threat of a boycott "firmly on the table." This article presents a compilation of various individuals' opinions on the possible United States boycott of the Beijing Olympic Games.
