Stars & Stripes In Flames
MANILA – A Filipino protester burns a U.S. flag to express his disgust on what he says are interference of U.S. and China on a disputed shoal outside the Chinese consulate in suburban Makati, south of Manila, Philippines on Monday April 30, 2012. The impasse began on April 10, 2012 when Chinese ships prevented the Philippine navy from detaining Chinese fishermen allegedly caught poaching endangered corals, giant clams and live sharks. <AP/Newsis>
