China 2008 Olympic Similar 1936 Nazi Germany Olympic

In these dire times of how history keeps repeating itself, China's inability to adhere the simple common principle of human equality brings a common relationship of Nazi Germany during the 1930's.

Beijing will be hosting the Olympics this summer. For the past month, uprising in Tibet is stirring attention throughout the world. We have seen innocent killings, unjust imprisonments, and undescribable tortures to these people who desire freedom and democracy. For many generations, the people of China have been suppressed by a tyrannical Communist government, whose denial ability for equal rights and human rights is unfounded.

Isn't this similar to the rise of Nazism during the 1930's? When Hitler took power, he took a weak and fragile democracy into a one party dictatorship. The Nazi storm-troopers rounded up thousands of political opponents, detained them in concentration camps, and tortured these innocent citizens that resembled the same techniques Hitler used against the Jews during the Holocaust. Hitler and the Nazi regime instilled the practice of racial purification and strengthened the German Aryan race, which is a practice in producing blond hair, blue eyes, strong athletic fit machine-like human beings. It was during that time Hitler alienated half a million Jews in German and it was his intent to remove them from society. Such ideology or idiocies, depending how you look at it, are now being practiced in China. Of course, they are not producing blond hair blue eye babies, but they are building a strong army and military that can match any nation. Likewise, by suppressing the voice for freedom in China and their belief of expanding into nearby territories gives credence that China is heading to the path to Hitler's Nazi Germany.

I strongly believe that Hitler used the Olympics as a propaganda tool to promote Germany and his quest to dominate the world. The USA and the United Kingdom missed the opportunity to boycott the Olympics in 1936 and I hope they don't the same mistake twice. China tried to clean up the mess in Tibet and throughout the country to make a rosy picture for us that China is the standard model to host the Olympics. Well, Germany did the very same thing. They removed anti-Semitic signs and pictures throughout Germany and hid their atrocities for the two weeks the Olympics were held. Soon after the commencement of the 1936 Olympics, Hitler took that momentum to bolster his Nazi campaign for world domination.

I feel sorry for the athletes who work so hard to get to this level of competition, but we need to boycott the summer Olympics in Beijing, China. Since money has been allotted to China to host this Olympic, it would be fair to say the Olympic Commission could move the date for next summer or have the Chinese government show they can change their behavior in the next several months. For those athletes, who have prepared their whole lives to get to this point, do not despair. They are already champions in their own right by competing in the national and international level. The Olympic is the icing on the cake. What is important is that these athletes already made their status known throughout the world and postponing the Olympics will not hinder their accomplishments.

We cannot stand idle and allow China to mock the meaning of the Olympics by destroying the very same nature which led to Hitler's uprising of power. The motto of the Olympics "Citius, Altius, Fortius," a Latin phrase meaning "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" has been taken literally by Hitler and now the government of Communist China.

Do not let history repeat itself. Ironically, such an event that we call the Olympics, which brings the best of the best to challenge each other, can cause so much strife that lead us to World War II. It is time that we need to take a stand for human rights and equal rights and boycott the 2008 Summer Olympics!
