SEOUL, South Korea — Thousands of South Koreans gathered for a prayer service Tuesday to welcome President George W. Bush on a visit that was also expected to spark revived protests against imports of U.S. beef.

Police said some 30,000 people convened on the grassy plaza in front of Seoul City Hall for a Christian service, while large South Korean and U.S. flags were held aloft by balloons overhead along with a banner reading, “Welcome President Bush.”

“The United States made sacrifices for South Korea during the Korean War and helped us live well,” said Kim Jung-kwang, a 67-year-old retired air force colonel who attended the rally wearing his military uniform. “The United States is not our enemy. Without the U.S., we will die.” TO read the entire story click here.
