Japanese chief executive's remarks under fire

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 4 (KCNA) -- The Japanese chief executive addressing a recent meeting of the House of Councillors said it is natural to consider the Japan "self-defence forces" (SDF) as an army, calling for revising the present constitution so that the SDF may rightly be called an army. In this regard Minju Joson today in a signed commentary says:
    A very dangerous attempt is lurking behind Koizumi's outbursts as he was the first among the successive Japanese prime ministers to assert that the SDF should be regarded as an army.
    The commentary goes on:
    High-ranking officials of the ruling quarters of Japan are now calling for "economic sanctions" and "economic blockade" against the DPRK over its nuclear issue and advocating the "use of force and a preemptive attack" against the DPRK on the strength of the Japan-U.S. alliance.
    Such moves of the Japanese reactionaries are directly linked with the brigandish design of the U.S. to dominate the world.
    Since its defeat in the war fought to conquer Asia Japan has dreamt of realizing its wild ambition for reconquest of Asia through its rearmament.
    Japan regards the present situation where a war atmosphere is prevailing in various parts of the world including the Korean Peninsula due to the U.S. moves, as a golden opportunity of rounding off its preparations for a war of overseas aggression.
    As it has become obvious that Japan is working with blood-shot eyes to stifle the DPRK in league with the U.S., the DPRK has no option but to strongly react against their moves.
    Japan had better to behave itself if it does not want to meet its self-destruction.
