| Anti-U.S. Rally in S. Korea |
| 2003-08-21 |
| They’re butchering English again. A person to person belt forming rally opposing the U.S. threat of war to the Korean peninsula and demanding a stop to the suppression of the South Korean Federation of University Student Councils (Hanchongryon) was reportedly held in front of the U.S. 8th Army base in Ryongsan, Seoul, on August 16. The rally was a part of the August 15 reunification function. Person to person belt forming rallys? What the hell is that? Participating there were members of the Reunification Solidarity, the National People’s Solidarity, the All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Schoolgirls and citizens and students, at least 5,000 in all. The All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Schoolgirls? I know they’re hungry, but,... jeez. Kwon Yong Gil, representative of the Democratic Workers’ Party, addressing the rally said the Bush administration should make it clear to the international community that it has no intention to mount a preemptive attack on the north and conclude a non-aggression treaty with the north in the name of the U.S. government. He strongly urged the U.S. forces, the regime and the conservative media to stop suppressing Hanchongryon, saying that the students’ struggle against the U.S. troops’ war exercises was righteous. Like, righteous, man. Who wrote this, Linc Hayes from the Mod Squad? A resolution was read out there. Out there, indeed. The resolution called for a turnout in a struggle to frustrate the U.S. moves to blockade the north and launch a war as they drive the situation on the peninsula to a higher pitch of strain. Ouch! Sounds painful. At the end of the rally, the participants tried to enclose the base but failed due to the riot police. ...and a new group was formed, The All-people Measure Committee for the Death of Riot Police. |

| #14 The article is a classic example of what happens when you translate grammatically poor Korean into grammatically incorrect english........ You know, I think it is time that we bring the troops home, roll up the sidewalks and pray, the world is honest to goodness going completely nuts. Those looneys have a complete psychopath with a napoleonic complex running around with a freakin nuclear weapon and they are protesting the only thing that keeps them from eating grass and drinking tree bark tea..........I bet if they were in this country they would vote democrat.......what most of them are going to come over here AND vote democrat. |

| #9 a higher pitch of strain A Randy Rhoads guitar solo, maybe? (*holds card*) 9.4! Posted by: Raj [http://angrycyclist.blogspot.com] 2003-8-21 11:24:26 AM Well, the "lyrics" did seem to resemble Ozzy's lame attempt of "Take Me Out to the Ballgame"! |

| #8 Bufh. This is a performance in a different class. Like comparing Modern Gymastics to Classical gymnastics. I say the point scoring system needs to be developed, and the initial grades appear a bit high for not only the first competetor, but for the ONLY competetor. *Abstains* |

| #5 >>Oh Bravo. I think the US should print an excerpt from this article on educational pamphlets right under the headline of "WHY THE US IS LEAVING SOUTH KOREA<< I agree. The pathetic mainstream media should also give it some coverage. The anti-American rallies take place practically every week now, and they're bigger and bigger each time. And that jackass Roh was elected almost entirely on his anti-American rantings, much like Schroeder in Germany, and of course both are becoming persona-non-grata in their respective countries now because there was never much else good about them. (That's the one good thing for Americans to take out of all of it. hehehehe) |

| #4 This is a new writer. He has got a certain verve - flair, possible due to low blood sugar. |

| #3 Oh, YES [holds up card] I give that a 9.1 . Creative, new, different - ws it from a South Korean source, not KCNA? Oh Bravo. I think the US should print an excerpt from this article on educational pamphlets right under the headline of "WHY THE US IS LEAVING SOUTH KOREA" that should be dropped en masse on the country. Just so when the US leaves, South Korea can only blame themselves for what will happen next. |
