"When nations and peoples allow themselves to be defined by differences, the gulf between them widens. When we fail to pursue peace, then it stays forever beyond our grasp."

"I believe the answer in North Korea is likely to be found in diplomacy and by continuing to have discussions with North Korea."

James Laney, former U.S. ambassador to South Korea:

"At the top of the agenda, however, in order to remove all unnecessary obstacles to progress, is the establishment of a peace treaty to replace the truce that has been in place since 1953. One of the things that have bedeviled all talks until now is the unresolved status of the Korean War.... Absent such a peace treaty, every dispute presents afresh the question of the other side's legitimacy."

Stephen Bosworth, Obama Special Envoy to North Korea:

"Pyongyang won't give up its nukes until it's sure Washington has permanently abandoned its hostile policies, and mutual trust has been established by establishing diplomatic relations and striking a peace agreement that formally ends the Korean War."

Online Demonstration for Peace in Korea -Nov. 28th and Dec. 1st 2010
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-
