'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Summary translation of the report in the link

While the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George Washington has joined the ROK-US joint war drill from Nov. 28 to Dec. 1, about 30 activists from the Solidarity for Peace And Reunification of Korea (SPARK), South Gyunngi-do branch of the SPARK, Korean Confederation of Trade Unions, Korean Alliance of Progressive Movements (KAPM) and Gyunggi branch of the KAPM have held the press interview against the joint war drill being mobilized of the nuclear aircraft carrier, USS George Washington, gathering in front of the 2nd Fleet Command headquarter of Pyeongtaek, at 11am, Nov. 28, 2010.

Oh Hye-Ran, Director of Peace Disarmament Team, SPARK said the joint ROK-US war drill in the West Sea (Yellow Sea) this time being mobilized with a nuclear air craft carrier USS George Washington was being staged by going northward even near to Pyeongtaek for the first time in history and its attack range would include not to mention all the areas of North Korea but also the northeastern area of China. She told that even F-22 and RC-135 were mobilized for the drill this time and denounced the drill saying that having a war drill mobilized with the most high-tech war powers of army, navy, air from the ROK and US itself draws the Korean peninsula into the danger of full scale war.

Mentioning the interviews by the Yeonpyeong residents who have said that they could not stay any more due to the ROK-US war drill with a nuclear aircraft carrier, she urged the South and North to enter for the measure for peace by the ways of dialogue and negotiation, while the related countries of the U.S. and China doing that, too.

Lee Kyu-Jae, Chairman of the Pan-Korean Alliance of Reunification, South Korean branch denounced the U.S. government to draw a nuclear aircraft carrier, while the United States had the original responsibility for Korean’s division. He strongly criticized the Lee Myung Bak government’s hostile policy against North Korea, saying if the Lee Myung Bak government had kept the measures during Roh Moo-Hyun government who had declared the special and cooperation area in the West Sea and defined the peaceful fishing area, there could have not been such incident on the Yeonpyeong Island on Nov. 23. He also urged the Lee Myung Bak government to enter for the peace dialogue with North Korea.

    I wish I was there in line with the rest of the Peace activists.

    In case you have not seen, the Wikileaks Embassy Cables on N/S/Korea, and China have come out. At least some of them.
    Very telling.
