S. Korea: One Million Netizens Favor Impeachment

 Internet users are stepping up their campaign against President Lee Myung-bak to protest the government's decision to import beef from the United States.

On Daum, a petition has been held to ask the National Assembly to impeach the President, aiming to collect as many as 10 million signatures. The number of people who joined the campaign had almost reached one million late Sunday, and was increasing fast, with about 1,000 signatures added in 10 minutes.

The campaign organizers criticized Lee for reneging on his pledge to adopt policies for the people.

``On top of a series of policy blunders, he is now trying to import American beef with the risk of mad cow disease. Lee has hurt the pride of the country and we cannot approve of such a president,'' the organizers said in a statement.
