Rodong Sinmun on nuclear crisis of Korean Peninsula
Pyongyang, January 29 (KCNA) -- The U.S. and the IAEA are to blame for the nuclear crisis of the Korean Peninsula, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed commentary. The Bush administration's reckless policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, neglecting the experience of the preceding administration, has compelled the DPRK to lift nuclear freeze and withdraw from the NPT, causing the worst crisis, the commentary says, and goes on:The U.S. devised a deceptive means of "dialogue" aimed to gain time for the projected Iraq attack, while setting the international community against the DPRK to make an international offensive to isolate and pressurize it.
It does not go down with the DPRK.
The best way of peaceful and fair settlement of the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula is to open negotiations between the DPRK and the U.S. and to conclude a non-aggression treaty between them.
The U.S. should stop such a foolish attempt to place the DPRK in the "nuclear dock" in collusion with the IAEA which has lost its impartiality and behave itself with discretion to fulfill its responsibility.
Everything hinges on the attitude of the U.S. responsible for the present situation.
