Protests - Part 75

Bums for Bush

In September, 2007 the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) conference was held in Sydney, Australia.  Leaders of Pacific Rim countries attended, including U.S. President Bush.

On Sept. 7, a group of about 50 Aussies protested against Bush and the war in Iraq by mooning.  They called it "Bums for Bush."

Will Saunders, who organized the event, said mooning was a fun and Australian way to get the anti-Iraq war message across without being too grim.

The event must have been well publicized, because it looks like there were more photographers capturing the mooning than there were mooners.

Another part of the line of mooners.  Again, note all the photographers.

A closer view of some protesters.

Not everyone protested against Bush.  We end with a lone Bush booster mooning to show his support.
