Dear Koreans:
Please carefully read the following Dr. H's translated message to his fellow Koreans and see what he wanted to say. I think this message would be important at this time and would be worthy to revisit, when the proposal of moving the United Nations Command and the Combined Forces Command, currently both in Yongsan, to Pyeongtaek, in Gyeonggi Province has been accepted by both nations.
Have a nice weekend.
Jack
Freedom is not free.
====== Dr. H's Previous Message to Koreans ===========
My opinions from his letter (these are purely my opinion) are as follows:
(i) I do not think the US troops will withdraw from Korea completely, even though Roh’s regime shows its unwillingness for US’s request of sending Korea combat troops. The only breakthrough for US- Korea’s better relation is to send Korea combat troops, to show Korea’s willingness to defend for the freedom of Iraq, and to give some warning signals against NK.
그의 편지에 대한 나의 견해 (순전히 나의 견해 )는 다음과 같습니다.
1) 나는 노무현정권이 미국의 한국군 파병요청에 대하여 심지어 거부의 뜻을 밝힌다고 하여도 한국으로 부터 미군이 철수할 것으로 생각지 않습니다.
더나은 한미관계를 위한 유일한 돌파구는 한국군을 파병하여 이라크의 자유를 지킬 의지가 한국에 있음을 보여주어서 북한에 대하여 무엇인가 경고의 신호를 보내는 것입니다.
(ii) If NK does not give up (I don’t think they would give up easily) nuclear weapons, US will not and shall not tolerate those weapons in NK by all means. Please pay attention to the word, “MUST” in item number (iv). In America, MUST is MUST, nothing but MUST as you understand the meaning of this word. When you use this word in the USA, it implies that you should do it for any price.
2) 만약 북한이 핵무기를 포기하지 않는다면 ( 나는 쉽게 포기할 것으로 생각지 않습니다. ), 미국은 모든 수단을 동원하여 북한에 있는 그들 핵무기들을 허용하지 않을 것이며, 허용하지 않아야 할 것입니다.
4번째 항목에 있는 MUST 라는 단어에 주목하시기 바랍니다.
여러분들도 이단어의 의미를 아시는 처럼 미국에서 '해야한다'는 '해야한다' 일뿐, '해야한다'이외의 의미는 없습니다. 여러분들이 미국에서 이 단어를 사용할 때, 그것은 어떤 댓가를 치르고서도 해야 한다는것을 의미합니다
(iii) Now, the US troops are going to withdraw (being withdrawn to) Osan and Pyungtaek close to Hwasung. Please read my letter along with Pastor Kim Jinchul’s letter to President Bush. Put yourself in Bush’s shoes for the moment. Your soldiers are being killed in Iraq and the US troops are moving to Osan and Pyungtaek close to the Hwasung Ddanggul site (nobody knows the truth). What would you do if you are him? Can you afford to ignore completely the Hwasung site? At this time, please read Mr. Freedom’s letter and my message leading to Pastor Kim’s letter carefully. You can guess something from them.
3) 지금, 미군은 화성에서 가까운 오산과 평택으로 철수할 예정( 철수하는 중 )입니다. 부시대통령에게 보낸 김진철목사님의 편지에 동봉한 나의 편지를 좀 읽어보십시오. 그리고 잠시 부시대통령의 입장이 되어보십시오.
여러분의 군대는 이라크에서 죽어가고 있으며, 미군은 ( 아무도 그 실체를 알지 못하는 ) 화성땅굴 지역 부근의 오산 평택으로 이동하고 있습니다.
만일 당신이 부시대통령의 입장이라면 어떻게 하시겠습니까? 화성땅굴을 완전히 무시할 수 있겠습니까? 지금이시간, 김진철목사님의 편지에 선행하는 Freedom씨의 편지와 나의 메시지를 주의깊게 읽어 보십시오. 여러분들은 그것들로 부터 무엇인가 짐작할 수 있습니다.
You don’t have to be too pessimistic. In the same way, don’t be too optimistic. You may not force the Roh’s regime to do something for or against NK, but you can show your determination to defend the invaluable/priceless freedom of Korea and get united against the evil groups supported by Kim Jeong Il. To prevent another Korean war, it is absolutely necessary to show that S. Korea is ready to wage war if NK provokes.
여러분들은 너무 비관적이지도 말아야 하며, 마찬가지로 너무 낙관적이지도 말아야 합니다. 여러분은 노무현정권이 북한을 위하여, 혹은 북한에 대하여 무엇인가 하기를 강요하지 말기를 바랍니다. 다만 여러분들은 값으로 칠수도 가치를 메길 수도 없이 소중한 한국의 자유를 지키기위한 여러분들의 결의, 그리고 김정일이 후원하는 악의 무리들과 대항하여 단결하는 여러분들의 결의을 보여줄 수 있습니다.
또다른 한국전쟁을 막기 위하여서는, 북한이 전쟁을 도발하면 남한은 전쟁을 치를 준비가 되어 있음을 보여주는 것이 절대적으로 필요합니다.
My Dear Koreans. Let me ask you the following question. Are you really ready to enter a war if NK invades S. Korea as it did on June 25, 1950? Yes or no? If yes, you deserve to enjoy the current peace. Otherwise, wake up, you sleepyheads.
Jay
나의 한국동포들이여. 나는 여러분들에게 다음과 같은 질문을 하고자 합니다.
여러분들은 1950년 6월 25일에 그랬던 것 처럼,만일 북한이 남한을 침공한다면 전쟁에 돌입할 준비가 되어있습니까?
그렇습니까? 혹은 그렇지 않습니까?
만일 준비가 되어 있다면 여러분들은 현재의 자유를 향유할 자격이 있습니다.
그러나 그렇지 않다면, 여러분들의 잠든머리를 깨우십시오.
Jay
*********************************************************
According to U.S. think tanks and policy analysts, there are four ways of dealing with the nuclear deadlock.
• Hand out aid and security assurances if North Korea dismantles its nuclear program. Former U.S. president Bill Clinton tried this approach in 1994. That pact collapsed after the North violated the deal and pocketed handouts, blaming Washington for not fulfilling its obligations.
• Military strike. This could trigger a full-scale war, with missile attacks, radioactive fallout, economic turmoil and massive refugee flows. U.S. troops in Japan and South Korea could become nuclear hostages.
• Starve Kim Jong Il's regime of money, slapping sanctions and embargoes on the grounds the North is an outlaw of the nonproliferation treaty. Block the country's hard cash from illicit trade and cut off food aid. This is likely to worsen a massive humanitarian crisis on an economically isolated nation.
• Put up with a nuclear-armed North, and accept Pyongyang may export weapons. This could spark an arms race if South Korea, Japan and Taiwan became nuclear powers to defend themselves. Interdict suspected illegal goods through the 11-nation Proliferation Security Initiative, set up in May by Washington to allow the U.S. and its allies to search planes and ships.
The U.S. administration is divided on North Korea, not only because its partners in East Asia have all but ruled out the first option, but because it is not sure what Pyongyang wants.
Total Armed Forces
Active forces: 1.14 million
Reserves: 7.45 million
Special forces: 100,000 estimated (world's largest)
North Korea has the world's fifth largest military. It is the most militarized nation in proportion to population (estimated at 22 million).
Military spending is $5.1 billion (2001 estimate) or over 30 percent of GDP.
Around 70 percent of N. Korea's army is deployed within 65 km of the DMZ.
Korean People's Army (KPA)
996,000 personnel
3,800 main battle tanks
2,270 armored personnel carriers
11,200 artillery pieces
KPA Navy
48,000 personnel
430 combat vessels
50 submarines (26 attack subs)
340 support ships
KPA Air Force
103,000 personnel
1,700 aircraft (780 fighters including MiG-23s and MiG-29s)
80+ bombers
310 helicopters
Missile Capability
Between 600-750 ballistic missiles
Nodong missile (1,300 km range)
Longer range Daepodong 1 (1,300 km) and 2 missiles are believed to be under development.
Daepodong 2 could target U.S. sites in Guam, Alaska and the U.S. west coast.
Artillery
North Korea has an estimated 13,000 hardened artillery sites, many of them aimed at targets in and around the South Korean capital Seoul.
Like much of North Korea's armed forces, they are well camouflaged and bunkered in.
4,000 are near the DMZ and 200-300 in range of Seoul.
U.S. officials believe every fourth round has a chemical tip.
Chemical/Biological weapons
North Korea has the world's third largest stock of chemical weapons.
Included in the arsenal is mustard gas, phosgene, sarin and V-agents.
Pyongyang also has an active biological weapons program.
Its inventory is believed to include anthrax, botulism, cholera, hemorrhagic fever, plague, smallpox, typhoid and yellow fever.
Nuclear capability
Though North Korea has not declared itself a nuclear power, the U.S. says Pyongyang has admitted to possessing nuclear weapons.
U.S. intelligence estimates North Korea has enough weapons grade plutonium for two to five nuclear devices.
The U.S. also says it believes North Korea has began reprocessing spent nuclear fuel rods which, if successful, could contain enough plutonium to produce between six to 12 nuclear weapons
