U.S. demand for S. Korea's troop dispatch to Iraq under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- The headquarters of the People's Movement for the Withdrawal of the U.S. Forces reportedly issued a statement on March 11 in protest against the U.S. which demanded the South Korean authorities dispatch troops to the war of aggression against Iraq. The statement said that the organization cannot recognize the authorities' planned troop dispatch as demanded by the U.S. on the basis of the "S. Korea-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty".
    If the authorities finally dispatch troops to the war, South Koreans cannot but be killers of Iraqi people like GIs and this will only expose before the world that South Korea is a U.S. colony, the statement said, and went on:
    No troop dispatch to the war of aggression should be allowed.
    There should be no support by a medical corps or whatever form of troop dispatch.
    We should not let our young people die a dog's death in the war of the U.S. South Koreans cannot allow themselves to be branded as war criminals along with GIs.
