The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) won the Nobel Peace Prize on Friday, as the Norwegian Nobel Committee warned that the risk of a nuclear conflict is greater than for a long time.
ICAN describes itself as a coalition of grassroots non-government groups in more than 100 nations. It began in Australia and was officially launched in Vienna in 2007.

1950 was 67 years ago.
There may be old ex-soldiers around still, but anyone who was old and powerful enough to set policy and be resposible for the war is long dead by now.
Let it go, man.

Then why hasn't the war officially ended? The answer is because one side, the North Koreans for those who aren't clear, is completely nuts. The same system that started that war is still here and still causing problems for everyone they can reach.
