Reply #7: Name the country which did not engage in an affront to humanity

[jberryhill]

How about if we boycott the Olympics on account of India's massacre of Sikhs at Amritsar in 1984?

The Indian government mishandled and misappropriated payments that were made in settlement of Bhopal claims.

Nothing is bringing back the victims, and what is being protested here is a payment by Dow to subsidize the Games.

So, explain to me why India is perfectly happy to have Dow continue to do business IN India:

Dow has facilities in Mumbai, Chennai, and several other places in India. So, I gather it is perfectly okay with the Indian government for THEM to do business with Dow when it lines their pockets.

So, to summarize the problem: it is okay for the Indian government to continue to do business with Dow, but they object to indirectly benefitting from Dow's subsidy of the Olympics if it doesn't put any rupees in their pocket.
