Problem of peace and re-unification of two Koreas is the urgent issue in East Asia. After dismantling main atomic re-actor in Yongbon by the DPRK following summit meeting in Pyonyomg of October last, world is looking for advancement and the peoples of North and South Koreas eagerly waiting for peaceful and independent re-unification of their fatherland.

Dates back in the history that the United States, in the situation of the end of World War-II, proposed so-called proposition of partition, and occupied a half of Korea south of 38th parallel.

Korea, a unified country with 5 thousand years-long history, was divided into two parts not by international agreement but only by the line drawn by the US troop's occupied South Korea by General Order No. 1 of MacArthur, only an US Army commander, which was greatly indignant.

After the occupation of South Korea, the United States established the pro-US separate government and provoked the Korean War on June 25, 1950.

The United States has worked harder for division and confrontation after the war, far from drawing a lesson from a disgraceful defeat it suffered in the Korean war.

In 1960s as when the reunification trend in South Korea was rapidly heightened under the slogan of let us go to the north, come to the south, let us meet in Panmunjom, the US staged the May 16 military coup.

In 1970s when the July 7 North-South Joint Statement clarifying the three principles of independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity was published the US mapped out the separatist two Koreas policy and established the Yusin dictatorship government.

In 1980s as different dialogues between the north and the south started and art troupes and hometown-visiting groups were exchanged the US put forth, argument on crossing recognition and escalate team spirit joint military exercise.

In 1990s as the 10-Point Programmes of the Great National Unity for the re-unification of the Fatherland was presented and the agreement on conciliation, non-aggression, cooperation and exchange between the north and the south as adopted, the US reopened. Team spirit joint military exercise raised the anti-DPRK nuclear clamor.

In 2000 when the meeting of the top leaders of the north and the south was held and the June 15 joint Declaration was published, the US ambassador to South Korea picked on that it was impossible not to inform about such a surprising decision in advance between friendly nations and the United States called the person in power of South Korea into Washington DC to make an issue of the independent stand of the Declaration and press to repeal it.

Recently it is going to bring into South Korea a huge amount of up-to-date military equipments worth 13 billion US dollars.

Since the occupation of South Korea, the US have killed lots of Korean people. The United States put down the popular uprising against the US military rule in Cheju Island in April 1948, and it is alleged that, exterminated one fourth of the population by the most cruel way. There is allegation that about 1 million people were killed during the pre-war period of 5 years after its occupation of South Korea, massacred 1.24 million innocent people throughout South Korea during the 3-year war, slaughtered 83 thousand South Korean people in every unconceivable manner since the end of the Korean war.

The US troops in South Korea have killed even a 3-year child and a shoeshine boy, branding the former as a thief of petrol, and, the latter as a robber. In case of shoeshine boy, they stabbed him, pulled out his two big toenails and hairs, painted his naked body, put him in a wooden box, and threw it out.

It is alleged that over the past 60 years since their occupation of South Korea, they committed more than 300 thousand crimes, in which 2 million and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed. This would be the record massacre of civilians after the World War II, if their killings in the north of Korea are excluded.

The United States of America from very beginning specially since the country's illegal division as legacy of World War-II persuading a hostile policy towards the D.P.R. of Korea to increase their supremacy over Korean Peninsula in the name of so-called US interest.

The USA never learn from the history and did learn nothing from shameful defeat in Vietnam. They occupied Iraq despite US and world populations strong criticism and USA also do not learn anything positive from political and diplomatic failure of their intervention against to establish peace in Korean peninsula.

Independent and peaceful re-unification of Korea is unanimous desire of the Korean population living across the artificial border. It is USA creating all about obstacles against fulfillment of peoples desire to keep their supremacy by force. Seven years before June 15 joint Declaration of North-South took place, but yet to proceed further due to US unwillingness.

World population is convinced and believe that all these achievements made in the D.P.R.K. will lead to re-unification and peace in Korean Peninsula shall finally triumph. So, the US authority should stop all kinds of hostility and proceed in free and frank mind to create atmosphere for peaceful coexistence with the D.P.R. of Korea that could lead to re-unification of Korea and establishment of peace in the Korean peninsula.

Stanch that in the Presidential election of South Korea on middle of December 2007, one Ri Hoe Chang is foolish and funny enough to make desperate efforts to gratify his greed for power, a behaviour quite contrary to the trend of the times and the will of the nation. This is no more than the last-ditch effort of a politician whose days are numbered.

Ri is a diehard pro-American conservative and a traitor to the nation ill-famed for being an icon of conservatism, confrontation between fellow countrymen, and corrupt politics in south Korea, and goes on:

He was twice defeated in the last "presidential elections." In fact, such defeat was a stern punishment by history and the people. However, this scum of history forsaken and marginalised by the nation is again going reckless, unable to repress his unlimited greed for power. His deed is lashing the people into fury as it is unpardonable political hooliganism mocking the history and the nation and going against the trend of the times.

It is quite natural that all the ruling and opposition parties and people from all walks of life in South Korea are becoming increasingly critical of his running for "presidential elections." As asserted by the public, Ri's action is a disgraceful "return" of "a guy crazy about the presidential office" or "a boss of conservatives" and it is no more than the desperate frenzy of the diehard reactionaries. Ultra-rightist Cold Warminded forces to stem the trend of the history and bring back the era in which they could embezzle truck loads of money.

In a "declaration of his candidacy for the elections" Ri pulled up the north and criticised the ruling and opposition parties' polices toward it, terming the present government a "leftist government" and ballyhooing about the "nature of the state." Such provocative and dishonest remarks can be made only by a diehard separatist keen on anti-national and anti-reunification and confrontation. His behaviour is extremely disgusting as he again blew the worn-out trumpet to incite confrontation.

He has gone so mad with greed for power that he is neither sensitive to the trend of the times nor able to face up to the reality. Being a politician more dead than alive as he is forsaken by the people like a rotten dead tree, this guy is however, making desperate effort to realise his dream of becoming a "president" by fishing in troubled waters. But for this he will only face a merciless judgment by history and people and destruction.

We including world population on all Koreans do hope and believe that people of South Korea will give their verdict in favour of peaceful and independent re-unification of their fatherland.
