Students and demonstrators are marching through the Austrian capital to protest against the visit of US President George W. Bush.

Austrian media say there could be as many as 10,000 people taking to the streets ahead of the US EU Summit.

Police have been busy preparing for anti-US demonstrations during the visit. They have already defused a number of hoax bombs, and tight security will involve the closure of roads, airspace and an underground railway station.


The US President is set to begin talks with EU leaders at a summit which may be overshadowed by calls for the closure of Guantanamo Bay prison camp.

Click on Ansichtssache: "Ich weiß, dass Menschen und Fische friedlich koexistieren können" and click on the arrows to get a great photo album of Bush's best moments. Priceless.

Bush's quote translates as "I know that people and fish can coexist peacefully."


Also Click on Ansichtssache: "Demos gegen Bush" and "Bush schleich dich" <11> and click on the arrows to get pictures of the demonstrations.

How does * have the guts to travel the world? How embarrassing! Thank you Vienna! Loved picture #20 calling for the stop of * : The lying idiot! Go Vienna.

from what I could cipher--he's not welcome.

"Schleich dich" means "Beat it." more or less. There's a great huge sign held up on a building that is in English.
