U.S. hostile policy toward DPRK bound to go busted

Pyongyang, January 5 (KCNA) -- The nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is an issue that should be settled through DPRK-U.S. dialogue as it is a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK. The DPRK, therefore, has consistently proposed dialogue with the U.S. without preconditions and conclusion of a non-aggression treaty with the U.S. there is no change in the DPRK stand to settle the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula in a peaceful way.
However, Boucher, a spokesman for the U.S. State Department, in a press conference on Jan. 3 repeated the U.S. demand that the DPRK "scrap its nuclear program first", openly revealing the U.S. intention to disarm the DPRK. This goes to prove that the U.S. moves to internationalize the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula to create an atmosphere of pressure on the DPRK and isolate and stifle it are becoming all the more undisguised entering the New Year.
Recently the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula has become worse owing to the bush administration which ditched, in fact, the NPT, the DPRK-U.S. Agreed Framework and the north-south joint declaration on denuclearization by stopping its supply of heavy oil to the DPRK after defining it as part of an "axis of evil" and including it in the targets of a preemptive nuclear attack.
The DPRK keeps the door of dialogue for a peaceful settlement of the issue open with maximum restraint while warning the U.S. against its unilateral and extreme breach of the AF several times and taking necessary counter-measures.
But the Bush administration, saying it will not invade the DPRK, has made controversial assertions that it cannot respond to the DPRK's proposal for concluding a non-aggression treaty.
And some countries in the west are laying grave obstacles in the way of settling the issues raising a hue and cry over the DPRK's "violation of international agreement" on the basis of U.S. false stories.
If there are countries which are concerned for the settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, they, proceeding from a fair stand, should force the U.S. to remain true to the international agreement so that it may discontinue its unilateral behavior.
It is self-evident that if they try to curry favor with the U.S. by following its extreme acts failing to do so, the situation on the Korean Peninsula will be pushed to a phase of crisis.
There is a limit to the DPRK's forbearance and patience. The U.S. is well advised to ponder over the grave consequences to be entailed by its hostile policy to stifle the DPRK.
If the U.S. persists in its policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, the U.S. will be branded as a disturber of peace and stability in Northeast Asia, shameless aggressor and the main obstacle to Korea's reunification and go to ruin.
