Japan Hit for Its Anti-Peace Acts

KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 10 (KCNA) -- Minju Joson today in a signed commentary denounces Japan's launching of a spy satellite on Nov. 29 as an anti-peace act ultimately aimed at conversion of Japan into a military giant and expansion overseas. The commentary says:
    Japan's launching of the spy satellite targeted against the DPRK is intended to realize the introduction of an anti-ballistic missile defense system promoted by it and its excessive zeal on this undertaking is not for defence but for attacking others.
    The military balance in Northeast Asia at present is rather stable, there is no country that poses a direct military threat to Japan and, moreover, the United States is taking the security of Japan exclusively upon itself. If Japan intends to establish the anti-ballistic missile defense system to cope with "threat" and "attack" from outside under this condition, no one will understand it.
    What the Japanese reactionaries are after is to destroy the strategic balance and gain supremacy in strategic attack weapons in Northeast Asia and thus freely attack the targets chosen by it.
    Drawing attention to the fact that Japan is working overtime to obtain the right to military operation overseas by craftily taking advantage of the international situation in which the issue of rehabilitating Iraq has cropped up in order to carry into practice the conversion of Japan into a military giant and expansion overseas, the commentary stresses: It is as clear as noonday that if this is allowed, the criminal atrocities committed by the Japanese imperialists against other national states during the Second World War will be repeated.
