North Korea prepared to resist US aggression

"If the US wants war, our armed forces and the Korean people have no other option but to fight." Thus declared Pak Gil Yon, North Korean ambassador to the United Nations, last February 7 in reaction to US President Bush�s State of the Union address. The ambassador stated that the US� inclusion of North Korea in what it calls the "axis of evil" only stopped short of the US declaring war.

With his demand last February 8 for the pullout of a number of North Korean troops from its border with South Korea, Bush effectively obstructed the negotiation for the unification of the two Koreas.

The North Korean ambassador further said, "We are always open to engage in talks and negotiations with the US to resolve security matters but such negotiations should be based on equality and without preconditions."

Due to strong opposition from the South Korean government and people, Bush was compelled to withdraw for now his threat of US aggression in North Korea.
