Putin's Challenge

I can't help but sympathize for the circassians and be extremely upset with Putin for how he displayed no remorse when he placed his bid to host the 2014 Winter Olympics. The circassians are trying to save what is left of their culture and Russia is just wrong for ignoring the history of these individuals. Not only did millions of them die fighting for their land, others were ran completely out of it. Sochi should not host the Olympics there and should show respect to the buried individuals and allow those circassians who are still in other areas to come back and live there without any issues. Why didn't the US jump into this issue and stop Putin from placing his bid? Why is it acceptable to act like circassians never existed at all. Turkey has acted as if they never existed when a lot of them fled there for help. Putin has been in office for years and has a vision for a better russia but he's not acting upon what his vision for russia is by hosting the olympics. I agree with those individuals who are protesting the Olympics. The SND hallmarks are:

• We proclaim by our lives and even more by our words that God is good. 
• We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person
• We educate for and act on behalf of justice and peace in the world
• We commit ourselves to community service
• We embrace the gift of diversity
• We create a community among those with whom we work and with those whom we service. 
• Develop hollistic learning communities which educate for life
