The armistice, signed in Panmunjeom, was signed by military commanders from the North Korean People's Army and the Chinese People's Volunteers, but not from South Korea or the United States. The U.S. and South Korea both accept the armistice to this day because they were part of the United Nations Command (UNC), which included 16 member nations in all that had sent troops to the region following North Korea’s invasion of the South in June 1950. The UNC is a signator to the Korean armistice.

Should the U.S. accept direct talks with North Korea over the latter’s nuclear weapons program? Vote now in the CNSNews.com Viewer Poll.
The 'no' votes are winning.
Check the poll....74% say no to unilateral talks.
A clear indication of slavishly following the administration's position without understanding the reasons why both bi-lateral and multi-lateral talks are more rational and likely to be more productive. If the Neo-Cons get their way we'll be in a conflict with North Korea.
Had the US been clearly aware of the implications of atomic weapons but not been at war with Germany in 1944, would the US have stood idly by as Hitler developed them?
No... no... a thousand times no !!!
The US would have sat idly by as Hitler developed them !!! ;-))

Thank you. I was waiting for the sensible answer.
There should have been no armistice. We should have nuked North Korea and China back then.
