KCNA: North Korea – U.S. Talks Urged

by John Little on 22/06/2006

When the KCNA (Pyongyang’s official news agency) runs a story like this it’s a pretty strong sign that they want to talk:

Direct Talks between DPRK and U.S. Urged
Voices accusing the U.S. administration of its Korea policy and calling for DPRK-U.S. direct talks for a solution to the nuclear issue are growing louder in the U.S. political circles these days. Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Armitage in an interview with the Kyodo News of Japan criticized the Korea policy of Bush, advising the U.S. administration

David Strube, former section chief for Korean affairs of the U.S. State Department, told a reporter that Bush was unwilling to have dialogue with the DPRK, judging from the abuses he hurled on its leadership. At the six-party talks, he noted, Bush insisted on the strategy of putting pressure on the DPRK while convincing it that it was “isolated” in the international community. But, in actuality, it is the U.S. and Japan that were isolated at the talks.

He ridiculed the U.S. act of ignoring the reasoning of other countries participating in the six-party talks. U.S. Senator Joseph Biden told a reporter that Bush’s Korea policy had come a cropper. The U.S. needs to have direct talks with the DPRK for a solution to the nuclear issue, he said.

That’s about as reserved and rational as KCNA gets.

IF George W. Bush ever needed a reason to INVADE another country, this is it! North Korea is a criminal and terrorist state. It is highly likely that the maniac in charge of one million henchmen will someday sell an ATOMIC WEAPON to AL QUAEDA. That would spell the deaths of million of Americans and put the world on the path to even worse things to come.

President Bush invaded Iraq on the pretext that Saddam Hussein might, “MIGHT” have nuclear weapons that he could then sell to Al Quaeda. There were none found. THE WORLD is DEAD CERTAIN that North Korea has them and now they are aiming missiles that will someday be tipped with a nuclear bomb AT US.

HOWEVER, the decision to start a major conflict that this would be should not be left in the hands of ONE MAN, especially the man who got it WRONG LAST TIME. WE SHOULD PUT THIS ISSUE OF WHETHER OR NOT WE DECLARE WAR ON NORTH KOREA ON the BALLOT. Let the people decide. It’s OUR SECURITY. It’s OUR FUTURE at stake. Let us hope that the decision is made on REAL FACTS and not emotion. BUT, let us make the decision TOGETHER, as a NATION, dedicated to our survival as the greatest nation on the Earth.

GOD HELP US. It’s not a simple decision to be made because million of innocent South Koreans and Japanese people’s lives will be put at risk if we invade.

WE NEED TO BE RESOLVED AS ONE NATION as we were so resulved in WORLD WAR TWO to make the sacrifices and be committed as a nation to wipe the scourge of NAZIism off the face of the Earth. SO IT IS NOW. We must wipe the sourge of TERRORISM off the Face of the Earth because if we FALTER, if we DELAY, we could lose millions of innocent American Lives. World War Two is a PICNIC compared to what could happen if AL QUAEDA gets the Atomic Bomb. Kim Jong-Il has them. He has stated he will sell them to the highest bidders. Al Quaeda, thanks in part to President Bush’s decision NOT to go after Osama Bin Laden and his Saudi Feinds, HAS THE MONEY to buy them and the will to use them on us for the simple reason that THEY HATE US. They HATE our way of life. We like to see our Women FREE and EQUAL and the MUSLIM world wants to see the women of the world enslaved. They also hate the JEWS. THE SIMILARITIES to HITLER’s NAZI regime are staggering.

DO IT NOW. PRESERVE YOUR FREEDOM before there is nothing to presever. GO TO: http://www.votingontheinternet.com Register your VOTE. Should we start dropping bombs on NOrth Korea NOW before THEY start dropping them or helping Al Quaeda drop them on US?

IT’S really as simple as that. ONLY A REAL DEMOCRACY should have the power to decide this awesome and historic question of will to survive. Will it be them or US?
