SEATTLE - Conservative presidential candidate Pat Buchanan praised the thousands of demonstrators marching against the World Trade Organization, calling the Geneva-based organization that sets the rules of global trade an ''embryonic monster.'' Buchanan said yesterday that the WTO was taking away the sovereignty of the United States and the thousands of WTO demonstrators were right to disrupt the opening day of meetings. Buchanan said he would not be joining the protests, but was working with labor and environmental groups to bring down the WTO. (AP)
