U.S. Should Stop Forcing S. Korea to Dispatch Troops

KCNA

    Pyongyang, November 16 (KCNA) -- The United States should immediately stop forcing south Korea to dispatch troops to Iraq. Rodong Sinmun says this in a signed commentary today.
    Recalling that the south Korean authorities are abruptly tending toward the dispatch of combat troops from the dispatch of non-combatants, the commentary attributes it to the U.S. pressure.
    It was proved by the fact that the south Korean authorities untimely changed their stand after the consultation in the United States, the commentary says, and goes on: The troop dispatch to Iraq is to satisfy the aggressive interests of the United States from A to Z.
    The young people of the Korean nation can not be recklessly victimized for only U.S. interests.
    It is also attributable to the south Korean authorities. As they are not firm in the stand of defending the interests of the people, the U.S. is acting like a "metropolitan state."
    The south Korean authorities should withdraw the decision on troop dispatch as early as possible, mindful that their moves to keep "alliance" with the U.S. at the risk of the lives of young people are harmful to the dignity and interests of the nation.
    The south Korean people should frustrate the pressure for troop dispatch through all-people anti-U.S. resistance and reject the U.S. interference in south Korea.
