Like any boycott before by a government....the ones who suffer are the atheltes who have trained there whole life, and who's goal is to compete against there fellow athletes. Aside from that, does a boycott really acomplish anything except a few headlines for some weeks?
If it directly helped the middle east I would be all for it....how about we all boycott strapping c-4 to ourselves....see if it catches on?

My wise-acre older brother's reply was always: " Then mail it to them"
Yeah, that was what I said too (in my childhood, I believe it was the little children in China who coveted my oatmeal). My mom laughed and never tried using the starving-kids ploy again to get us to eat.
