Why do we need a peace treaty? Isn¡¯t the Korean War over?
The Korean War is not over. No peace treaty was ever signed.
The fighting ended in 1953, but only an armistice was signed.
The fighting ended in 1953, but only an armistice was signed – a temporary measure to end the conflict. Fighting can resume at any time.
What¡¯s the problem with leaving things the way they are?
The danger of even ¡°accidental¡± war on the peninsula is high because of the number of troops, weapons and bases in close proximity. Nearly a million troops - South Korean, North Korean and U.S. soldiers, are arrayed on the two sides of the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone), with hi-tech weaponry on numerous bases. We came close to war during both the Bush and Clinton administrations, as U.S. preemptive strikes were threatened in 1994 and again in 2006 over the possibility of North Korea developing nuclear weapons.
And although there have been recent decreases in the numbers of American troops stationed in South Korea, the U.S. is increasing the size and capabilities of bases like Camp Humphreys in Pyongtaek, south of Seoul. Furthermore, the U.S. and South Korea, along with Japan have recently announced stepped up joint military exercises to ¡°maintain regional stability.¡±
Millions of Korean people have been separated from our families and homeland due to the national division. (10 million South Koreans – no less than 1/4 of the population - have separated family members in the north.) Sixty-eight-years of division are long enough. It¡¯s time to bring down the wall that divides us and reunite families.
