I'm disgusted that so many of the world's political leaders have gone to take part in this farce.

I completly agree with this. Whilst i was undecided on the atheletes boycotting, i was certainly behind the world leaders not turning up the opening ceromony. To see Bush and Sarkozy to name a few there was ridiculous. I didn't see Brown there, i believe princess Margeret was the British representative sent. However, i'm not sure if that was a purposeful boycott or not. People can argue that politics have no place in sport, but the presence of the worlds top politicians certainly brought a political agenda to the opening ceromony. I believe it reflects badly on the politics of those nations for their leaders to go and show support. I'm angered by the presidents presence on behalf of my country, but to be honest, i've come to expect no less from him.
