Is it just me.....

.. or do you get baffled by people boycotting, protesting and burning flags during the Olympics? Maybe I'm just missing something here.. but when did the Olympics ignite feelings of hate and protest. I always have viewed the Olympics as something that brings nations together in the spirit of brotherhood and good hearted competition. Something doesn't seem right with the world. At least no one is protesting the 2008 NHL Playoffs... or are they?

UPDATE : 5:38 - I stand corrected. I now see why said protests are in place. My bad - and F china
