This would be enormously courageous. They would be leading by example and hopefully shaming the world into action. I am pessimistic since the whoring politicians in the West will continue to remain silent. Also, the media will move on to other stories, as long as no videos come out of Tibet:
International Olympic Committee (IOC) vice-president Thomas Bach says a number of top athletes are considering boycotting the games in China over the bloody crackdown on protesters in Tibet.
"Several sports stars are feeling ill at ease when they think about the Olympic Games. Some are even considering cancelling," Mr Bach, of Germany, told Sunday's edition of the Bild am Sonntag newspaper.
And will the UN investigate the atrocities being committed by the Chinese government. Once again, I am pessimistic that will be done:
The Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama - the public voice of a region now largely sealed off from the rest of the world - called Sunday for an international investigation into the crackdown against protesters in his homeland, which he said is facing a "cultural genocide."
"Some respected international organization can find out what the situation is in Tibet and what is the cause," he told reporters in Dharmsala, the Indian hill town where his government-in-exile has been based since he fled Tibet in the wake of a failed uprising in the late 1950s. "Whether intentionally or unintentionally, some kind of cultural genocide is taking place."
