Thai nationalist protesters march along a highway leading to the 900-year-old Preah Vihear temple along the Cambodian border July 17, 2008. A ruling by the U.N. agency for culture and education to list the temple as a World Heritage site has angered many nationalist Thais and threatens to cause a diplomatic row with Cambodia.
