Souder: U.S. should skip Games' opening IndyStar.com The Indianapolis Star: "U.S. Rep. Mark Souder has joined a growing number of lawmakers who want to make it illegal for President Bush or any member of Congress to attend the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Summer Olympics because of China's crackdown in Tibet.
Souder, R-Ind., said Friday that if the president doesn't skip the ceremony then Congress should force him to stay home.
'I don't know why any president or elected official should go as they try to have their moment in the world spotlight as Hitler did during those Olympics' before World War II, Souder said Friday. 'That's about as hard as I can say it.'"
