Il speaking Ill of the US...Again

N. Korea challenges U.S. approach - (United Press International): "Pyongyang warned the danger of nuclear war on the Korean peninsula is growing in a New Year's editorial published in North Korea's three major newspapers.
'The danger of a nuclear war is growing on the Korean peninsula as the days go by, owing to the U.S. moves to stifle the (North Korea),' the editorial said.
'All Koreans should stage a powerful struggle for peace against war in order to drive the U.S. troops out of South Korea, remove the very source of a nuclear war and defend the peace and security on the Korean peninsula.' "

It is hard for me to believe that any government, in this day and age, could speak publicly this irresponsibly. The US wants nothing more than peace between the US and North Korea. We also want to be able to pull our troops from South Korea, but this does nothing to aid the desire. This merely proves our distrust and propels us further to what seems now to be an inevitable showdown. We certainly hope that the showdown is between the poor people of North Korea and its government, but I would support the US in freeing those people the way we have for Afghanistan and Iraq.
