Bush in S. Korea
One group gets nothing and the other gets doused by water canon. That doesn’t sound like freedom to me. It sounds like a different point of view that the South Korean government isn’t willing to tolerate. That Bush is at the center of this conveys a message. Bush says he enjoys coming to a free society. He wouldn’t recognize freedom if it bit hime in the ass. That we have less after eight years should come as no surprise.

Hi John,
I don't know how much you know about South Korea, but I lived there for nearly 7 years. The left-wing protesters are truly violent, and they engage in the kind of police-baiting old Berkeley radicals used to do in hopes that the response would make more radicals.
Those pro-Bush protesters may be really annoying people to have to live with, but their idea of protesting or holding a rally is to get together an pray in public. That's not what I'd do, but it's not exactly dangerous.
For several months now, however, the anti-Americans have been engaging in deliberate misinformation campaigns and police provocation to stir up anger at Korea's president. Some of them are actually connected with the North Korean regime out of a misguided sense of racial solidarity. Don't be fooled: they had these water cannons coming.
