U.S., Wrecker of Peace on Korean Peninsula

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, January 31 (KCNA) -- Sixty years have elapsed since the U.S. occupied south Korea in September 1945. Since then the U.S. has persistently wrecked peace on the Korean peninsula and stood in the way of Korean reunification.
    From the first days after its occupation, the U.S. forcibly dismantled the People's Committees established in south Korea and put it under its military rule.
    It started the three-year-long Korean war in the 1950s to destroy towns and villages and take lives of numerous innocent people.
    In the 1960s it made reckless attempts to unleash another war in Korea while committing such provocations as the armed spy ship Pueblo and reconnaissance plane EC-121 incidents.
    The U.S. perpetrated such incidents as the "axe incident" and "shooting incident" at Panmunjom in the 1970s and 1980s to make a pretext for unleashing a war against the DPRK. As a result, the danger of war had persisted in the peninsula. The annual "Team Spirit" joint military exercises, nuclear war maneuvers, increased the danger. Besides, the U.S. has staged various kinds of military exercises including "Foal Eagle" and "Ulji-Focus Lens" in and around south Korea.
    The U.S. moves to stifle the DPRK were intensified in a more vicious way under the pretext of the "nuclear issue" in the 1990s. The moves resulted in a "nuclear crisis" on the peninsula.
    All the facts show that the U.S. has tried hard to start another war on the Korean peninsula over the last six decades, while wrecking peace in the country.
    The U.S. military presence in south Korea must no longer be allowed.
    Now the Korean nation is turning out as one in the efforts for driving the U.S. forces out of south Korea and rooting out the cause of a nuclear war on the Korean peninsula through a strong anti-war, peace struggle, in response to the joint New Year editorial. It is a unanimous will of all the Koreans to put an end to the U.S. presence in south Korea this year.
