U.S. urged to change its undesirable stand

KCNA

    Pyongyang, July 21 (KCNA) -- These days some officials of the Bush administration, though belatedly, acknowledge the realistic nature of the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework, referring to the unfeasibility of the U.S. policy that calls for "the scrapping of nuclear program first" and "pressure" upon the DPRK. Such moves are quite natural and the U.S. should change its unrealistic stand as soon as possible, urges Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. The paper says: The situation of the Korean peninsula is running toward the brink of an unpredictable war due to the U.S. which is dead set against the DPRK-proposed direct DPRK-U.S. talks and conclusion of a non-aggression pact and insists only on "the scrapping of nuclear program first" and multilateral talks while seeking to lay an "international siege" around the DPRK.
    If the U.S. has no intention to attack the DPRK, there will be no reason for it to fail to accept the proposal of the DPRK, the commentary says, and goes on:
    The U.S. should clearly know that any pressure, blockade and military threat never work on the DPRK.
    The nuclear issue between the DPRK and the U.S. should, under all circumstances, be settled through equal and direct talks between the two sides and their conclusion of a non-aggression pact. This is the invariable principled stand of the DPRK on the solution of the issue.
    The U.S. had better properly understand the unreasonableness of its assertions and the justice of the DPRK's proposal and make a practicable option.
    The DPRK is fully ready for both dialogue and military action.
    Whether the nuclear issue between the two countries is settled in a peaceful way or by war depends on the U.S. action.
