An anti-war activist wearing a mask of U.S. President Barack Obama performs before he receives a Nobel War Prize during a rally near the U.S. embassy in Seoul November 18, 2009. About 40 protesters rallied in Seoul on Wednesday to demand the U.S.-North Korea Summit for making a peace treaty in the Korean Peninsula and to denounce the South Korean government's decision to send its troops to Afghanistan again, ahead of U.S. President Barack Obama's visit. The right black banner reads, "Stop Afghanistan invasion by the U.S.". REUTERS/Jo Yong-Hak (SOUTH KOREA POLITICS MILITARY CONFLICT)
