Burma's people deserve to be allowed freedom to decide their future without the heavy hand of an undemocratic military junta. But great care should be exercised when considering involving sports in political issues. For the most part, such attempts backfire and fail to accomplish the desired result.
The whole issue of word usage must be revisited. "Terrorism" (and the so-called war against it) has been overused and abused at the expense of innocent civilians. It is ironic that an Armenian woman in Iraq became the latest victim of an overzealous private security firm on the very same day that Congress voted to recognize what happened to the Armenians.
