Everyone is correct in saying that this guy should worry about his own people and not anyone else.    Still, something to remember is that China wanted to host the Olympics to show the world that it had arrived as a modern nation. Now I don't agree with what this guy has to say, but he was barred entry due to his political activity outside of China (even though it is definitely unflattering to China) and goes against what the games are supposed to represent.    Whatever they hoped to accomplish, all they've really down is to give this guy and his cause more publicity than would have been possible had he gone to Beijing. Had he pulled any stunts there, they could have arrested him and made him look like an instigator. At present in the eyes of those watching the MSM, he merely looks like a victim.    Kind of a moot point I guess as the US flag-bearer is a Sudanese refugee. That's obviously meant as a slap in the face to China and has a lot more effect than this guy quietly watching the games ever could have.
