DESCRIPTION:

|
Protest at 5:30 pm at the Westwood Federal Bld
* No to US/UN Sanctions against N. Korea (DPRK)
* STOP U.S. threats, aggression, and war
* Sign the Peace Treaty -- NO War!
* The real world danger is U.S. militarism
* US troops out of Korea
Countries that are forced to defend themselves from Bush?s pre-emptive strike doctrine of ?regime change by force? are not the cause of war and weapons of mass destruction.
For over 50 years the DPRK tried to get Washington to normalize relations and sign a peace treaty ending the Korean War. Before the cease-fire of 1953, U.S.-led forces killed 4 million Koreans. And, for over 56 years the North has been under economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. ? the longest economic sanctions in world history. This economic warfare is responsible for the harsh economic conditions in the DPRK.
The DPRK is encircled by a naval armada of U.S. guided missile destroyers, bomber and fighter squadrons, nuclear weapons and 30,000 U.S. troops in South Korea.
Add to this the belligerence of U.S. imperialism around the world and it is no wonder that the DPRK decided to develop an effective deterrent against military and possibly nuclear attack as a matter of national survival.
