Rodong Sinmun on DPRK's legitimate right to self-defence
KNCA
Pyongyang, December 20 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists should clearly understand that if the U.S. has a right to use nuclear weapons, the DPRK is entitled to counter it, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary.
A war against Iraq, to be ignited amid the escalating U.S. nuclear threat to the DPRK, may be a preliminary war and a test war for a new Korean War, the commentary says, and goes on:
The Persian Gulf War in the early 1990s brought a nuclear crisis to the Korean Peninsula.
The Bush administration has not implemented the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework deliberately but breached it systematically. The Bush bellicose forces have led nuclear pressure upon the DPRK to a high pitch, bringing the "nuclear development" of the DPRK to the international arena.
Meanwhile, they are escalating nuclear threat to the DPRK. The U.S. talking about "biological and chemical attack" by "enemy states" is sophism to justify its moves to start a nuclear war against the DPRK.
The DPRK has already put forward a proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty between the DPRK and the U.S. if the U.S. has no willingness to launch a war against the DPRK, there is no reason why the U.S. should not accede to the proposal.
If the U.S. imperialists ignite a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula, they themselves will be burnt to death in their flame.
