About 12,000 protesters, many carrying banners reading "Bush go home," "No. 1 Terrorist" and "Warmonger," marched through the German city of Mainz on Wednesday, but were mostly kept away from the visiting U.S. president.
"You can bomb the world to pieces but not into peace."
"Bush, No. 1 Terrorist."
German police confiscated one poster that read: "We had our Hitler, now you have yours."
"We don't want your type of freedom."
"We don't need no cowboys."
Bush's visit contrasted with that of his father to Mainz in 1989 when large crowds cheered Bush senior for his calls for the Berlin Wall to be torn down.
Other U.S. presidents have also been given a hero's welcome in Germany [] "When John F. Kennedy came to Germany he drove through cheering crowds," said Mark Reichelt, 20, a student. "Now Bush is here and will drive through empty streets."
