Veterans For Peace Applauds Korea Talks for Olympic Unity


Veterans For Peace Applauds Korea Talks for Olympic Unity

At this hopeful juncture, we call upon the U.S. government to seize this historic opportunity to build further momentum for peace on the Korean Peninsula by commencing talks with North Korea soon, without any preconditions. We must absolutely stop any tragic resumption of the horrific Korean-U.S. War – possibly a nuclear war this time that would kill millions of people and imperil human civilization.
In order to pave the way for bilateral talks with North Korea, we urge the U.S. government to discontinue its large-scale joint war drills in and around Korea, even after the end of the Olympic Games. These provocative military exercises are not "games." They are preparations for a war that should never happen.
The people of Korea, United States, and the world are eager for peace. Together, we must seize the historic opportunity afforded by the Winter Olympic Games in Korea to change the course of history.
