Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from South Korea Urged

KCNA

    Pyongyang, August 7 (KCNA) -- As long as the U.S. imperialist aggression forces stay in south Korea, the south Korean people can never escape from misfortune, sufferings and disasters nor can the whole nation be free from disasters of a nuclear war, much less achieving the peace and peaceful reunification of the country. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    The article goes on:
    The presence of the U.S. troops in south Korea is quite contrary to the trend of the times when the Korean nation is in the process of achieving reconciliation, cooperation and independent reunification by its concerted efforts.
    Much displeased with the adoption of the June 15 Joint Declaration the United States has worked overtly and covertly to derail the brisk process of achieving reconciliation and independent reunification by the concerted efforts of the Korean nation. The U.S. troops in south Korea have staged madcap war gambles targeted against the north, while chilling the atmosphere of inter-Korean dialogue. GIs' murder does not cease. These facts clearly show that the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea is a crime against the Korean nation, peace and reunification as it blocks the reconciliation and reunification of the Korean nation and is intended to realize the U.S. ambition for aggression of Korea.
    The U.S. bellicose forces' assertion that the DPRK is a threat to the U.S. "security" is none other than an absurd subterfuge to invent a pretext for justifying the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea and hostile moves against the DPRK.
    The United States should clearly know that its aim to stifle the DPRK by force can never be achieved, give up its aggressive policy of occupation of south Korea and stop its moves to start a new war and pull its troops out of it at once.
    This would do the U.S. good as it would save many U.S. soldiers from miserable death and catastrophic disasters.
    The withdrawal of the U.S. troops from south Korea would lead to the peace of Korea, the security of the Korean nation and its independent reunification.
