SEOUL -- Thousands of people carrying anti-globalization placards demonstrated in central Seoul on Sunday against a meeting of Pacific Rim leaders set to promote trade liberalization this week.

More than 18,000 protesters near the U.S. Embassy also denounced a visit by U.S. President W. Bush, who is one of 21 leaders due to attend the two-day Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit set to open Friday in the southern city of Busan.

"We oppose Bush's visit, we oppose APEC," read placards carried by protesters, members of one of the country's two umbrella labor groups. Some marched with masks of Bush's face.


Way to go * - You are unwelcome ANYWHERE & EVERYWHERE you go. :puke:

He was not raised to care or sympathize or feel. He was sheltered from anything bad and was handed everything he ever needed or wanted. But now, all that has changed.
That disrespectful, horrible stump speech he gave last Friday was the first one I recall not being followed by a bump in his poll numbers. That means he is not even rallying his base.
What goes around, comes around. Oh yes, I truly believe he now realizes what a loser he is. And more importantly, he realizes there is no one who can bail him out, not this time.
We are all paying for his mistakes. If we can win big in '06, we will show him the door and get our country back.
