Withdrawal of U.S. Troops from S. Korea Urged

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, September 1 (KCNA) -- Had the United States not occupied south Korea, Korea would not have been divided into two and had the U.S. not stood in the way of Korea's reunification, the Korean nation would have already achieved it long ago. Rodong Sinmun Thursday observes this in a signed article. It goes on: The Korean nation achieved the historic cause of national liberation from the colonial rule of the Japanese imperialists on August 15 60 years ago. But for the U.S. occupation of Korea, the Koreans would have already built a unified independent sovereign state and established national sovereignty throughout Korea.
    The U.S. occupied the south of Korea, not a defeated country, by force of arms, interfering in its affairs, though it made no contribution to the cause of Korean liberation. This brought the tragic partition of Korea into the north and the south and this disgraceful history has lasted for 60 years.
    The U.S. is a cancer-like entity as it has stood in the way of the uniform development of the Korean nation, pursuing a policy of colonial subjugation in south Korea for 60 years. The 60-year-long history and the present reality clearly prove that the U.S. policy of domination over south Korea is one of evil as it has savagely trampled down upon the destiny of the Korean nation.
    The U.S. is the chieftain of aggression and war as it has obstructed the reunification of Korea and threatened the security of the Korean nation.
    It has staged ceaseless large-scale war exercises for aggression on the DPRK while making the outbreak of the second Korean war an established fact and steadily modifying and supplementing its scenarios for a war of aggression, far from drawing a lesson from a bitter defeat it sustained in the last Korean war. The Koreans should not allow the U.S. to perpetrate any more high-handed and arbitrary practices.
    The 70 million Koreans in the north and the south and overseas should unite as one under the banner of "By our nation itself" to drive the U.S. imperialists out of south Korea and bring about the second August 15 liberation as early as possible.
