U.S. Policy of Strength Assailed

KCNA

    Pyongyang, February 17 (KCNA) -- The U.S. policy of strength is based on the militarization of economy and represents the interests of the U.S. munition monopolies, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. The U.S. munition monopolies do not allow the items for making profits to dwindle due to a halt to the war against terrorism, a peaceful settlement of disputes, d�Etente, a stop to arms race and realization of disarmament, the signed article says, and goes on:
    They are not directly interested in the cutdown or elimination of the weapons they had already produced and sold but never permit restriction on or halt to arms production or a ban on developing new type weapons.
    That is why the U.S. is giving spurs to the development of new type nuclear weapons and ultra modern equipment including the missile defence system and more efficient conventional weapons while signing treaties on eliminating some nukes.
    The Bush administration's policy of aggression including the protracted "war against terrorism" fully reflects the demand and interests of the munition monopolies to produce and sell more weapons and war supplies for making profits.
    This wild ambition of the U.S. finds a concentric manifestation in the U.S. imperialists' invariable policy toward the DPRK. There is a sign of d�Etente in other parts of the world but the situation on the Korean peninsula still remains tense and the danger of a war increases there. This is entirely attributable to the U.S. imperialists' policy of strength.
    As long as the U.S. munition monopolies are keen to gain more profits by steadily expanding their war industry, the U.S. reactionary ruling quarters can never drop their policy of strength.
