The demonstrations that broke out on the streets of central Seoul on May 2 surprised everyone who should have been in a position to anticipate them. The staff of South Korea's new president, Lee Myung-Bak, had no option of the depth of the emotions, the possible scope of the protest or its duration. The U.S. Embassy in Seoul and the U.S. military command-with their far-reaching networks of contacts and large staffs with the capability of scrutinizing Krean Web sites-were equally in the dark about the demonstrations, the forces behind them and their underlying causes. Both the Blue House, the center of presidential power in South Korea, and the U.S. government believed the outburst was a passing phenomenon, one from which the country, the government and U.S.-Korean relations would quickly recover before moving on to weightier matters
