But South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun on Wednesday dismissed as "groundless" alle­ gations by the North that U.S. forces may attack and spark a "second Iraqi crisis" on the Korean Peninsula. "There will be no war on the Korean Peninsula as long as we do not want a war," Roh's office quoted him as saying, adding that Washington has repeatedly pledged to resolve the crisis peacefully. Meanwhile, U.N. envoy Maurice Strong said that North Korean officials told him in meetings in Pyongyang last week that they "reserved the right" to reprocess spent fuel rods that experts say could yield enough plutonium for sev­ eral atomic bombs within months. Such a move would spike tension even further. The North's Korea People's Army sent a telephone message to the U.N. Command saying it will no longer send its delegates to the liaison-officers' meeting at the inter-Korean border vil­ lage of Panmunjom. "It is meaningless to sit together with the U.S. forces side to discuss any issue as long as it remains arrogant," the North's official news agency KCNA quoted the North Korean message as saying. The announcement came as lawmakers from across North Korea convened the country's rubber-stamp parliament amid heightened tension over the communist state's suspected nuclear weapons program.

Japan's satellite launch "is for the purpose of information gathering," said Japanese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hatsuhisa Takashima. "It is not offensive. or intended to inter­ fere with any other nation's security whatsoever." Takashima said that the satellites will play a role in Japan's national security, how­ ever.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Protest false patriotism My Washington Program peers, Ben Haney, Beth Monteleone and Jacque Wilson claim in their March 24 letter that once Congress has decided to go to war, not only is the debate over but speaking out against this decision is in fact unpatriotic even if it is protected under the Constitution. If going against my conscience, reasoning and religious and philosophical beliefs in support of a resolution made by a small group of people is patriotism, then I want none of it. I have been brought up to believe that the Constitution is not applicable only during peacetime.
