North Korea Demands US Withdrawal From Peninsula Before Resuming Talks - The Guardian
Excerpt:
"North Korea has issued a detailed statement on its terms for dialogue with the United States, after weeks of tensions.
The
demands from the North's top military body include the withdrawal of
all UN sanctions imposed due to Pyongyang's nuclear and missile tests,
and a US pledge not to engage in "nuclear war practice" with the South.
It said denuclearisation of the peninsula should begin with the
withdrawal of US weapons."
I'm not a pacifist, and I do believe there are 'just wars' that Christians can support (I don't believe America has any business in Iraq and Afghanistan, and probably never should have set foot in Vietnam in the 1960's, early 1970s!). But if I were the President of the United States, here is how I would respond to North Korea's demands that we withdraw our troops from South Korea:
Dear Kim Jung-Un
Thank you for your recent suggestion that America withdraw their troops from South Korea as a condition for peace talks. Unfortunately, we have to reject your suggestion. South Korea is our ally, and if they want us to remove our troops from their country, all they have to do is ask. Otherwise, we will consider any attack on South Korea as a personal attack on the United States, and we will respond accordingly.
Have a nice day!
