S. Koreans protest, demand tougher N. Korea policy
2006-10-14
Thousands of South Korean protesters waved flags and shouted slogans Friday as they demanded their country cut off aid and investment to North Korea to punish the communist nation for reportedly testing a nuclear device. "We are facing the most dangerous time since the end of the Korean War," said former lawmaker Lee Cheol-seung at the demonstration, which comprised mostly retirees and veterans.

The protest - which police said drew about 3,000 people - came as the United Nations considered sanctions against North Korea for its proclaimed nuclear test on Monday. The United States and Japan have been pushing for tough measures, but South Korean political parties have disagreed over their country's policy.

#9  "which comprised mostly retirees and veterans"

I.e., those who aren't living in denial about Lil' Kimmee, a small fraction of the population.

#5  But don't they realize their (Sork) gene pool has been polluted? So sez Kimmie.

#4  Torn between giving up the Good Life™ and gathering the clan together to howl at the moon to honor the ancestors...

Some choices aren't really choices, they're torture.

#3  I think RBs Mac? covered it about 5 days ago. The status quo is the end all be all for the Sorks, the fear of financing the NORKs return to good eating has them paralyzed.

#2  Still, a remarkably small protest given the gravity of the situation.
