All Koreans Called upon to Put End to History of U.S. Military Presence in S. Korea

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 4 (KCNA) -- The history of the presence of the U.S. imperialist aggression troops in south Korea is a history of disasters as it has checked the socio-political development in south Korea and brought all sorts of misfortune and sufferings to the Koreans and a crime-woven history as it has stood in the way of the uniform development of the Korean nation and seriously threatened peace and stability on the Korean peninsula. Rodong Sinmun Monday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    The Koreans can never pardon the U.S. imperialists because they have drenched the whole of south Korea with the blood shed by them, keeping it under their occupation for about 60 years.
    Their military occupation severed the blood ties of the Korean nation which had lived together for 5,000 years, imposing upon the Korean people bitter sufferings and tragedy resulting from the division upon it in the new century, too.
    But for the U.S. occupation of south Korea, Korea would not have been divided into two parts and but for the U.S. persistent obstructions, the Korean nation would have achieved its reunification long ago.
    It was none other than the U.S. that installed a puppet regime in south Korea, hamstringing the Korean people's efforts to establish a unified government after their country's liberation on August 15, 1945 and ignited a war against the north early in the 50s, dampening the Koreans' desire for peaceful reunification. The U.S. imperialists have worked more desperately to block the movement for the reunification of Korea in the new century when energetic efforts are being made to implement the historic June 15 North-South Joint Declaration.
    Undertakings for north-south reconciliation, exchange and cooperation are faced with frustration and confusion due to the U.S. plots and moves against reunification. The U.S. imperialists have played with the destiny of the Korean nation and imposed sacrifices upon it for nearly six decades in a bid to realize their aggressive ambition. These crimes are unprecedented in history.
    The Koreans in the north and the south and overseas will turn out as one in the nationwide struggle to force the U.S. imperialist aggression forces out of south Korea without delay and thus put a definite end to the disgraceful history of keeping aggressor forces in their land, the article concludes.
