Another Boycott Olympics Argument

I'm not entirely sure the focus here is right. Is Darfur uniquely China's problem? Any more than our own? Is the Olympics a legitimate point of connection here? But there's something so devastatingly frustrating in how little movement there has been in the international community to deal with the ongoing atrocity in the Sudan at the level it demands, that one is tempted to applaud any attempt to divert attention away from spectacle (however hallowed) and back toward the Problem from Hell.
