Global Research Editor's Note This text by Vietnam War Veteran, author and peace activist Brian Willson was first published by Global Research in 2002. It outlines, what most people in America do not know and which is particularly relevant in assessing the alleged "threats" of North Korea to global security North Korea lost thirty percent of its population as a result of US led bombings in the 1950s. US military sources confirm that 20 percent of north koreas' population was killed off over a three period of intensive bombings: "After destroying North Korea's 78 cities and thousands of her villages, and killing countless numbers of her civilians, [General] LeMay remarked, "Over a period of three years or so we killed off - what - twenty percent of the population."6 It is now believed that the population north of the imposed 38th Parallel lost nearly a third its population of 8 - 9 million people during the 37-month long "hot" war, 1950 - 1953, perhaps an unprecedented percentage of mortality suffered by one nation due to the belligerance of another." During The Second World War the United Kingdom lost 0.94% of its population, France lost 1.35%, China lost 1.89% and the US lost 0.32%. during the Korean war, North Korea lost 30 % of its population. These figures of civilian deaths in North Korea should also be compared to those compiled for Iraq by the Lancet Study (John hokins School of Public Health). The Lancet study estimates that 655,000 deaths resulting from the US led invasion and occupation (March 2003- June 2006). Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research, 12 October 2006
