I guess it was only a matter of time before these guys made an appearance:

A small group of anti-American activists rallied in central Seoul on Monday, voicing their objection to a U.N. resolution sanctioning North Korea for its claimed nuclear weapons test.

Last week, the 15-member U.N. Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution imposing stringent non-military sanctions on North Korea which claimed to have conducted a nuclear test in defiance of international warnings.

The U.N. resolution calls on its members not to make any weapons-related dealings with North Korea and orders all countries to freeze funds linked to the North's weapons mass destruction programs.

Chanting anti-American slogans near the U.S. Embassy, about 30 protesters accused the U.N. of collaborating with Washington trying to smother the North's communist regime.

"The U.S. sanctions and pressure on North Korea are the fundamental cause of North Korea's nuclear test, and the U.N. resolution failed to mention even a bit of that truth," Han Sang-ryeol, a representative of the group, said.

The protesters claims are groundless because the US financial sanctions are because of North Korean counterfeiting and money laundering of US currency and are not related to the nuclear issue.   It is easy to criticize the US over the financial sanctions if it isn't your currency being counterfeited.  All the people that criticize the US for the financial sanctions act as if the US should just let the North Koreans counterfeit US currency so the Norks will play nice and be quiet.  Screw them and I'm glad the US is standing up to the North Koreans and not letting them counterfeit US currency or blackmail the US with their antiquated nuclear program.
