People stand while wearing gas masks as a man holds a portrait of U.S. President-elect Barack Obama in the background during an opposition rally in Tbilisi November 7, 2008. More than 10,000 Georgian opposition supporters rallied on Friday against President Mikheil Saakashvili, piling pressure on his government after its crushing military defeat by Russia. The rally in Tbilisi marked the first anniversary of a crackdown on opposition demonstrators, when police fired rubber bullets, teargas and water cannon to end days of protests outside parliament.
