S. Korean "National Assemblymen" reject troop dispatch to Iraqi war

KCNA

    Pyongyang, March 27 (KCNA) -- Voices opposing the passage of the "motion calling for troop dispatch" to the Iraqi war through the "National Assembly" are growing stronger from among its members from the democratic party, according to MBC of South Korea. At an executive committee meeting of the party, "National Assemblyman" Kim Kun Thae said that the majority of the population are opposed to the U.S. unjustifiable attack on Iraq as this war failed to get consent from the United Nations. And he urged the legislature to accept the anti-war protest made by 81 percent of the population.
    It will be helpful to everyone, after all, that the "National Assembly" rejects the authorities' request for the dispatch of troops to the Iraqi war, he said.
    Another "assemblyman" Ri Hae Chan said the current Iraqi war is bitter shame in human history as it has no justification.
    Kim Kyong Je, member of the "National Assembly", declared that they would submit an amendment carrying their stand since the dispatch of engineers group or medical group is little different from actual involvement in the war.
    Meanwhile, 17 "National Assemblymen" from the ruling and opposition parties reportedly called a "meeting of parliamentarians for peace against war" on March 25 and agreed to check the passage of the motion through the "National Assembly".
