Greeks demand Bush be rocketed into outer space

Associated Press, Saturday 15th March 2003

Greek anti-war protesters are demanding George Bush be sent into
outer space.

More than 10,000 anti-war demonstrators marched to the American
embassy in central Athens and shouted they want to send the US
President into orbit.

They chanted: "We'll put Bush in a NASA rocket so he will stop
murdering people."

The protest outside the US embassy is part of a series of rallies
planned throughout Greece to protest a possible US-led invasion
of Iraq.

Protesters also carried banners which read "Stop the war" and "No
to the barbarism of the war."

About 100 protesters also gathered for a demonstration around the
defense ministry on the outskirts of Athens

About 4,000 protesters in the northern port of Thessaloniki also
took part in three separate demonstrations that ended with
marches to the US consulate.

Protesters in Thessaloniki fixed a plaque on the gates of its
port and burned a cardboard missile outside the consulate.

"In memory: to the 1999-2003 victims of NATO, USA, European Union
in Yugoslavia, Palestine, Afghanistan, Iraq, all over the world,"
the plaque read.
