U.S. Anti-DPRK Diatribe under Fire

KCNA

Release Date: 9/24/2003

Pyongyang, September 23 (KCNA) -- Shortly ago, the Bush administration reportedly decided to impose sanctions against the DPRK under the absurd pretext that it does not actively combat such modern crimes as human traffic. The U.S. even staged maritime inspection exercises targeted against the DPRK ships by mobilizing its followers. Minju Joson today carries a signed commentary, which reads in part:

Sanctions and military threat and blackmail never work on the army and the people of the DPRK. The U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK aimed at stifling it is a pipe dream that stands no chance of realization.

The army and the people of the DPRK have so far advanced unswervingly along the road they chose despite the U.S. persistent sanctions and military threat and blackmail. They will remain invariable in this stand in the future.

The U.S. should drop its anachronistic hostile policy toward the DPRK and its attempt to stifle it. This is urgently needed for the improved bilateral relations, for the development of the international situation as a whole and for the U.S. itself.

If the U.S. persistently clings to the hostile policy toward the DPRK, it will be held fully responsible for all the ensuing consequences.

Option is not the monopoly of the U.S. The DPRK also has the freedom of choice. The U.S. should clearly see the reality and stop such foolish act at once.
