U.S. Urged to Pay Heed to Public Call for Pullback of Its Forces

Pyongyang. May 20 (KCNA) -- The United States should not turn its face away from the trend of the times and public mind-set but pull its forces out of south Korea at an early date, urges Rodong Sinmun Friday in a bylined commentary.
The U.S. magazine Forbes carried an article contributed by a senior researcher of the Cato Research Institute in which he said the U.S. forces' presence in south Korea is no longer necessary, the commentary says, and goes on:
It is the demand of the times to withdraw the U.S. forces from south Korea and a matter whose solution cannot be avoided by the U.S. any longer.
The DPRK has made sincere efforts for peace but even the issue of building a peace mechanism on the Korean Peninsula has not yet been discussed due to the objection of the U.S.
The U.S. behavior sidestepping the above-said issue is little short of openly evading its obligation as the party directly responsible for solving the issue of the Korean Peninsula.
The U.S. is busy ceaselessly escalating the tension on the peninsula to hurt someone, still obsessed with the anachronistic way of thinking and daydream.
It is the unanimous demand of fair public opinion that its hostile policy toward the DPRK should be rolled back and its forces should quit south Korea.
