" The invasion of Afghanistan by Russian troops caused a boycott by some countries of the 1980 Games in Moscow. In hindsight, all nations should have boycotted the Berlin Olympics in 1936, but at the time most governments claimed not to know what Hitler had in mind. Today, we do know only too well what the government of China has in mind for its Falun Gong community because of what it continues to do to them. This is a vitally important difference between 1936 and 2008." - Former MP David Kilgour
