Japan's moves to bedevil DPRK-Japan relations flailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) -- The director general of the Japan defense agency said that if the united states mounts a preemptive attack on North Korea, the "self-defense forces" may take a military response to it and that it is not unconstitutional to mount a preemptive attack on missile launching place of North Korea. The Tokyo metropolitan governor let loose a spate of vituperations against the DPRK that Japan should take a revenge on North Korea for the "issue of kidnapping," North Korea should collapse and Japan may stage a war against North Korea. In this regard Rodong Sinmun runs a signed commentary today, which says:
    Japan has persistently pursued the hostile policy toward the DPRK for scores of years after the war, but it has never resorted to it so frantically as now. This is an unjust behavior that does not conform with the desire and interests of the peoples of Korea and Japan.
    Japan is driving the DPRK-Japan relations to an extreme pitch of tension, which is aimed to avoid its past liquidation. The Japanese reactionaries' persistent raising of the "issue of kidnapping" is, in essence, an attitude that they will ditch the DPRK-Japan Pyongyang Declaration and evade the liquidation of the past wrongdoings.
    Lurking behind the moves of Japan to bedevil the DPRK-Japan relations is its real intention to attain its wild ambition for reinvasion.
    By nature, what the Japanese reactionaries want is to stage a comeback, not to normalize the DPRK-Japan relations. It is the ambition of the Japanese reactionaries to follow in the wake of samurais who tried to swallow up the whole of Asia after invading and occupying Korea in the past.
    Japan can never avoid the past redress. The Japanese reactionaries' ambition for reinvasion will not be realized. They have nothing to get from worsening DPRK-Japan relations.
    They would be well advised to take a correct option at the crossroads of history whether to improve or worsen the DPRK-Japan relations.
