Is the US really getting close to starting a war over this? If protests are being organized in the streets, it may be closer than we think.
Call to Action: Online Demonstration for Peace in Korea
Sunday 11/28 and Wednesday 12/1
President Obama is sending the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS George Washington (carrying 75 warplanes and a crew of over 6000) and other warships for additional war-games with the South Korean military beginning this Sunday, November 28.This only escalates the already tense situation on the Korean peninsula and brings us dangerously closer to an all-out war. And the blogosphere is already full of hate-mongering rhetoric calling for �retaliation� after the tragic incident on Yeonpyong Island earlier this week. Two civilians and two South Korean soldiers have died. We say NO MORE LOST LIVES.
We need all those who stand for peace to call for de-escalation on the Korean peninsula and an immediate end to the U.S.-South Korean war games. On Sunday, November 28, from 12 noon to 3 pm EST (9 am to 12 noon PST) and Wednesday, December 1 from 7 pm to 10 pm EST (4pm to 7 pm PST) tell Obama and Clinton to immediately stop the joint U.S.-South Korean war maneuvers, and sign a Peace Agreement to end the state of war that has existed for sixty years on the Korean peninsula.

Except that Obama signing a peace agreement wouldn't necessarily end the state of war.
Do you even know WHY there is a state of war? Because at the end of the Korea War South Korea refused to sign the armistice that the U.S, China and North Korea signed.
If the U.S couldn't pressure South Korea then it's not likely it could pressure it now. |
