U.S. urged to reexamine its policy of confrontation with DPRK

KCNA

    Pyongyang, June 11 (KCNA) -- Though ten years have passed since the publication of the DPRK-U.S. New York joint statement, no article of the statement has been implemented but the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula has got more serious and the DPRK-U.S. hostile relations have been further bedevilled. Rrodong Ssinmun today says this in a commentator's article.
    The United States is entirely to blame for this, the article says, and goes on:
    The situation on the Korean Peninsula has reached the extreme pitch of tension contrary to the expectation of the people owing to the perfidious, self-righteous and unilateral act of the U.S. that has scrapped the statement and pursued a hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
    The core of the joint statement calls on both sides to refrain from using force including nuclear weapons against each other or threatening each other with such force and respect each other's sovereignty and not interfere in each other's internal affairs.
    However, the United States has persisted in its anti-DPRK moves in wanton violation of such article and basic spirit of the statement. The U.S. policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK has reached the climax after the emergence of the bush regime, in particular.
    The Bush belligerent group's listing the DPRK as part of an "axis of evil" and the target of its nuclear attack is an undisguised violation of the DPRK-U.S. joint statement and the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and a blatant threat and nuclear blackmail against the sovereignty of the DPRK.
    It is known well that in October last year the U.S. regime sent a special envoy of its president to the DPRK to pose an ultimatum-like threat to Pyongyang over "concerns" and spark the second nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula. The U.S., in collusion with IAEA, its puppet and henchman, has put international nuclear pressure on the DPRK and made an offensive to disarm it and, at the same time, unilaterally suspended even the supply of heavy oil to the DPRK pursuant to the simultaneous action of the AF. In view of such grave situation the DPRK made a bold decision to withdraw from the NPT in order to protect the sovereignty and dignity of the country and the nation. This was a self-defensive countermeasure to cope with the u.s. hard-line policy to stifle the DPRK and the unreasonable behavior of the IAEA toeing the U.S. line.
    The right of decision is not a monopoly of the U.S. but it also resides with the DPRK.
    The U.S. belligerent forces are blustering that North Korea is the next target to eliminate weapons of mass destruction" after Iraq.
    The U.S. attempts to bring the nuclear issue of the DPRK to the United Nations again in a bid to have a justification for mounting a preemptive nuclear attack on the DPRK and igniting the second Korean war. It is working with blood-shot eyes to destabilize and destroy the DPRK through a vicious psychological warfare as it did in the Iraqi war.
    It was the U.S. that ditched the north-south joint declaration on denuclearization and derailed its process on the Korean Peninsula.
    The present worst development compels the DPRK to build up a powerful war deterrent force to defend itself.
    It has its own operational plan, war method and strike mode.
    Any "nuclear umbrella" and "missile shield" will prove ineffective in face of the DPRK's powerful strike. The U.S. vicious psychological warfare, "shock and terror operation" will never work on the DPRK.
    The U.S. aggressors will hear only the American dirge on the Korean Peninsula.
    The U.S. can never flee from the responsibility for the grave situation on the Korean Peninsula. The U.S. is well advised to get cool-headed and ponder over the ensuing catastrophic consequences, if the present situation will lead to a war, and reexamine and rectify its futile policy of nuclear pressure and confrontation towards the DPRK.
    Everything will depend on how the U.S. will make a switchover in its attitude and policy. The DPRK will closely follow the U.S. attitude and do what it should do.
