Re: Asking Support from Every One/Boycott Tanith Belbin in Torino Olympics

I can understand your feelings, but I personally don't agrre with you.

Tanith Belbin is an exceptional athlete. And I think both Tanith and
Benjamin really deserved to participate in Olympics.

As you wrote, you and your husband 'have been fighting for Freedom
and American Citizenship here in the USA'. Well, so did Tanith. It
wasn't like she woke up one day being officially American. As far as
I know she got the final answer 36 hours or so before deadline. So
she was thinking that she won't be able to go to Olympics. And, by
the way, Tanith and Benjamin fought for USA on the Games. And this
means smth! ((BTW, I am not American).

Yes, Congress and President interfered in the process. But, come on,
people! Tanith is an exceptionally talented girl and it would have
been just bad and unfair if she wasn't able to perform simply because
of bureaucracy! And I also think this concrete situation is an
example showing that if you worth smth you won't be unnoticed. I
think that this concrete example of interference shows good side of
US government. I mean, everybody got what they want and no harm has
been made.
