North Korea appeals to their best friend, Kofi Annan: N.Korea Writes Annan, Demands U.S. Troop Pullout.

SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea urged the United Nations Tuesday to dissolve the U.N. Command on the tense peninsula and press for the withdrawal of U.S. troops based in South Korea.

In a rare letter to U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, North Korea’s representative at the Korean War truce village called on the United Nations to dissolve the 50-year-old U.N. Command.

“It is our view that a war in Korea is almost unavoidable as long as the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK goes on,” said the 1,100-word letter, which the official KCNA news agency said was written by Colonel-General Ri Chan-bok. DPRK stands for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
