U.S. sophism intended to evade its responsibility refuted

    Pyongyang, January 24 (KCNA) -- Special assistant to the U.S. President for Security Rice in a recent press interview said that the nuclear activity of the DPRK did not spark a dispute between the DPRK and the U.S. but posed a threat to the international community. In this regard Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary dismisses her remarks as sheer sophism intended to evade the U.S. responsibility for the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, as desired by the Bush administration, and part of the propaganda to create an international atmosphere for putting pressure upon the DPRK.
    The news analyst says:
    The DPRK made a crucial decision to lift the freeze on its nuclear facilities and withdraw from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty as a measure to defend its sovereignty and vital right in order to cope with the serious situation created due to the U.S. refusal to keep its promise and its threat to the DPRK.
    Despite this hard fact, the U.S. insists that the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is not a matter between the DPRK and the U.S. The assertion does not hold water.
    The same can be said of Rice's assertion that the DPRK's nuclear activity is a threat to the international community.
    The great difficulty created in the production of electricity in the DPRK by the U.S. halt to the supply of heavy oil to the DPRK and the delayed LWR project compelled it to restart its nuclear facilities for electricity production.
    If this measure taken by the DPRK poses a threat to the international community, all countries which have nuclear power plants engaged in nuclear activities must be threats to the international community and one can draw a conclusion that the United States is the biggest threat to the international community.
    The United States should bear in mind that though it is working hard to put an international pressure upon the DPRK under the pretext that the nuclear activity for a peaceful purpose poses a threat to the international community this will not work on it.
