Demonstrations against Communist North Korea and Kim Jong-il are increasing in S. Korea by patriotic and pro-Bush/pro-America S. Koreans. This is despite a crackdown by the liberal, appeasing government of Roh Mu Hyon, the leftist Minjudang Party.
One such tactic of recent has been very public displays of hatred toward the North Korea regime, such as the burning of the DPRK national flag.
Here is a short streaming video at 200k (through the conservative Chosun Ilbo newsite) showing a N. Korean flag burning and arrest today near the S. Korean "White House" in downtown Seoul.

The detained, arrested and fined patriotic, pro-USA demonstrator (photo) heads an anti-Kim Jong-il group in S. Korea similiar to the "FReepers".
He was outraged at President Roh Mu Hyon's quisling 'apology' yesterday to North Korea that certain South Koreans citizens were burning North Korean flags and defacing effigies of dictator Kim Jong-il.
One can see the secret police of S. Korea run by the Clintonite/Appeasing No Mu Hyon, taking the anti-communist demonstrator away after his brief effort to barbeque the national symbol of the D.P.R.K.

My dad owned one of those flags. It was given to him by a survivor of the Frozen Chosun.

Jeez. I hope they can do better than this guy. He can't even keep his flag lit.

Another thing you'll never see on ABC World News Tonight.
Burning the Stars and Stripes - OK.
Burning the symbol of an oppressive communist regime - Not OK.

People have been burning the commie DPRK flag right and left in Seoul these days. It is encouraging.
Last one burnt was several Saturday's ago in front of 10,000-15,000 anti-North Korea people in Seoul City Hall square.

I read that there are several thousand NK refugees in China that someone is talking about resettling in the US.
Why not SK ?
To: Eric in the Ozarks
we had a separate thread on that just the other day

little news trickles out of the Peoples Paradise. what news there is, shows a general crackdown on the Workers Party, but by and large the people are hopeless and beginning to think, 'what the hell'. many are risking crossing into China now or down through China into Thailand through Laos, etc. it is a reply of Eastern Europe, when Austria said they would allow East Germans to transit through their land to West Germany if they could make it through Hungary....which eventually is what happened. then, the regime fell. the real beauty in all of this will be (hopefully) to bring down the Korean Workers Party and Kim Jong il in Pyongyang without a shot. one can only hope (and work) toward that end!

Thanks for the ping.
It seems the Free world learned absolutely nothing from the appeasement policies of the 30's.

It seems to me the SKs could do with a bit of first-hand news from the Communist paradise.
To: AmericanInTokyo
I don't think this regime will go quietly...the danger is that a barrage of Seoul is ordered..you'd need an awful lot of troops to disobey orders...more plausible is that someone close to KJI decides to take him out, then makes himself the head guy..tries to negotiate witht he US
