British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he will be skipping the opening ceremony for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China. Although, he did say that he will attend the closing ceremonies.
Other major world leaders are considering skipping the games. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has already announced that he is not going to attend the opening ceremonies.
The next step is for countries to start announcing they will boycott the Olympics. I hope that doesn’t happen, but I can certainly understand why countries would boycott the 2008 olympics.
