S. Korea's Troop Dispatch to Iraq Must Be Stopped

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 23 (KCNA) -- South Korea's additional troop dispatch to Iraq is a war crime joining the U.S. in the war of aggression against and occupation of Iraq without any justification and an anti-national crime damaging the dignity, interests and honor of the Korean nation, says Rodong Sinmun in a commentary today. The news analyst goes on:
    It is already publicly recognized that the U.S.-launched Iraqi war was a brigandish and aggressive crime going against international law.
    Nevertheless, the "National Assembly" of south Korea legalized the troop dispatch to Iraq. This is an insult to the south Korean people and the whole nation who value the dignity, honor and interests of the nation as life and soul and a challenge to humankind wishing justice and peace and an indelible crime against the Iraqi people.
    The south Korean authorities are loud-mouthed about the "peaceful settlement" of the nuclear issue, while taking a direct part in the outside forces' war of aggression against Iraq. This is the height of sarcasm and a mockery of the nation.
    Pro-U.S. means death to the Korean nation and anti-U.S. a way out for it.
    The aggression, interference and strong-arm and arbitrary practices of the U.S. which has brought only misfortunes and disasters to the Korean nation can never be tolerated.
    The commentary calls on the south Korean people to kindle fiercer flames of struggle to thwart and frustrate the pro-U.S. flunkeyist forces' treacherous troop dispatch to Iraq for driving young south Korean people to a death field in submission to the United States indulged in aggression.
