"Bush Doctrine" Criticized

KCNA

    Pyongyang, January 28 (KCNA) -- O'Neill, former U.S. secretary of Treasury, recently testified that the Iraqi war was planned by the Bush administration in the early days of its office, not after the September 11 incident, and Democratic Senator Kennedy contended that the Bush administration misused the post-incident phobia to distort the truth in a bid to justify the war which could be the worst mistake in the U.S. foreign policy over the past two centuries. Minju Joson Wednesday in a signed commentary says that the "Bush doctrine" is sharply criticized in the U.S. for the adventurous and dangerous nature of the administration's external and security policies.
    The commentary goes on:
    The Bush administration upon its debut on the scene came out with what it called "Bush doctrine" in "national security strategy" report it submitted to Congress in which it confirmed its strategic coordinate in the world as the global superpower and declared it would not tolerate any challenge to its position as the superpower.
    At present the Bush administration is applying the "doctrine of preemptive attacks" to the DPRK despite worldwide denunciation and protest.
    Underlying it is its calculation that its logic of strength based on strong-arm policy and pressure will work on anyone.
    It would be a proper choice for the U.S. itself to consider the characteristics of its opponent and specific conditions in working out its Korea policy.
