South Korea has a President and a Vice President. The President is Lee Myong Bak. Unlike the United States which has a Senate and a House of Representatives, South Korea has one group of people that makes the laws. It is called the National Assembly. According to Sean, President Lee looks like a bird with small eyes. He has short hair, and his face is oval. Sean thinks that President Lee is bad because he allowed imports of beef from America. People believed that if they ate this meat they might get mad cow disease. Cows that get this disease have brains that become like sponges.
Sean said that when President Lee allowed America to start selling beef to Korea again, many people started bringing candles in paper cups as a demonstration. People gathered for forty eight hours near the entrance to where the king's house door was. There were many people there, and the demonstration is very big. Sean saw it on television. People who raise these cows should have the meat inspected to see that the disease cannot be spread. Many people think that the meat has not been inspected.

Why don't you tell them we inspect the beef,you eat it,atleast 250 million or more others do and are just fine Why in the world in the abscence of facts are they so fired up? I wish we would react to real trouble like Chinese imports in a similar voluable way. Is this an expression of over the top nationalism? MMurzyn
