KCNA Issues Indictment

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, October 29 (KCNA) -- KCNA issued a lengthy indictment on Oct. 28 in which it termed the United States the most cruel and despicable "empire of evil" and laid bare its bestial nature and miserable fate during the four years of the Bush administration in office. It branded "Bush doctrine" on which the present policy of the Bush administration is based as the most dangerous trend of imperialism in the present times as it aims to build a world dominated by an empire, an empire lording it over the world, by aggression, plunder, the use of force and high-handed practices.
    The document dealt with the motive of the advocacy of "Bush doctrine," new trend of imperialism, and how it was adopted as a policy.
    It continued:
    Bush advocated "American-style internationalism" which calls for demonstrating to the world its strength and authority as a diplomatic doctrine of the new administration in February 2001. Then followed the emergence of such brigandish logic based on "strength-all mighty theory" and unilateralism allegedly reflecting the "peculiarities of the U.S." "Bush doctrine" formally appeared as a new trend of imperialism in the wake of the "September 11 incident."
    Right after the incident Bush became so impudent as to urge all the regions and countries either to side with the U.S. or stand by terrorism. His outcry became a basis of "Bush theory," a theory of war which listed not only individual groups but sovereign states as targets of "anti-terrorism war."
    In line with this theory the Bush administration designated imaginary "enemy" called "terrorist" and declared to the world unilateral criteria to discriminate between friend and foe by the logic you will be my enemy if you don't support me and to retaliate against him.
    In 2002 the Bush group worked hard to formally adopt the new trend of imperialism as its policy as evidenced by the fact that the theory of "axis of evil" was spelled out at the end of January and there emerged in June of the same year "theory of preemptive attack" "Bush doctrine" being its core.
    These were adopted as a state policy and strategy.
    The "theory of preemptive attack" and "Bush doctrine" based on it are the worst theory of aggression and the most dangerous trend of imperialism in the history of the preceding empires.
    The imperialistic nature of Bush doctrine and its gravity are unthinkable apart from neo-conservatism. Bush doctrine is the other side of neo-conservatism and its development because it is a brainchild of the despicable political hooligans who took the lead in the movement for fascistization against communism in the U.S. in the past.
    The neo-conservatives' dominationist view on the world that what the U.S. does is all right and strength only represents justice, a megalomaniac idea of preaching a jungle law, was enunciated by neo-conservative forces of the Bush administration as Bush doctrine and this served as an ideological basis of the "empire of evil".
    The Bush group retrieved such conceptions of world domination by the U.S. as "Pax Americana" (conception of U.S.-led peace) and the theory of "bankrupt state" from the dumping ground of history to use them as a leverage to support Bush doctrine.
    Arrogance, aggressive nature, cruelty and wickedness are characteristic of the "empire of evil," the nature of "Bush doctrine."
    The "war against terrorism" desperately fought by the Bush administration during its term was based on Bush doctrine, a contemporary trend of imperialism, the indictment said, disclosing the crimes committed by the U.S. under the pretext of combating terrorism. It went on:
    The September 11 incident and the "war on terrorism" waged by Bush group in its wake is a continuation of the plot-breeding operation conducted by empires in the past to realize their wild ambitions. The Bush group is little different from the rulers of the erstwhile empires in war hysteria.
    The U.S. "anti-terrorist war" is precisely the other side of brigandish state-sponsored terrorism and the slogan of "anti-terrorism" put up by the Bush group is nothing but a fig-leaf to cover up its state-sponsored terrorism.
    The number of cases of terrorism of various forms that occurred worldwide in 2003 alone when the U.S. "war against terrorism" raged most furiously totaled 3,213, an all-time high. The vicious cycle of terror and retaliation is a product of "Bush doctrine" and his group can never evade responsibility for them.
    The indictment cited the most hideous and monstrous abuse of POWs perpetrated by GIs in Iraq, Afghanistan and other countries and regions in an organized and premeditated way in the course of "combating terrorism" as evidence proving that the U.S. is the worst human rights violator and a rogue regime.
    Recalling that the Bush administration formally declared its withdrawal from the ABM Treaty, an obstacle to its establishment of the missile defense system, and deliberately reduced "Kyoto Protocol" to a dead document, thus overturning the international legal mechanism, the indictment went on: This hooliganism can be perpetrated only by the "empire of evil."
    Moreover, the Bush administration has persistently refused to sign the CTBT, thus fully betraying its true colours as the arch criminal proliferating weapons of mass destruction.
    The Bush forces have attained their main goal of throwing a dense network of their military bases all over the world through their "anti-terrorism war." At present the U.S. has 702 bases in nearly 130 countries and more than 6,000 military bases in its mainland and the territories under its domination.
    All the crimes committed by the "empire of evil" while fighting "anti-terrorism war" are unpardonable and indelible as they have brought horrible disasters to humankind.
    Conservative politicians and reptile media in the U.S. are becoming very zealous in their efforts to paint the U.S. as a "new empire" but the world once again teaches the historical lesson that the days of the empire are numbered.
    It is as clear as noonday that the "empire of evil," the "American empire" is destined to go to ruin just as the Nazi empire of Hitler did, the indictment observed, citing fair world public opinion proving the truth.
    It continued:
    Imperialism is the filth of history as it has lived out its days. It is a miscalculation and a fantastic daydream for the Bush group to revive the era of the outrageous and arrogant empire, swimming against the trend of the times.
    The world will no longer remain an onlooker to the arbitrary and reckless moves of the "empire of evil" to disturb peace and human civilization but mete out a stern judgment to it.
    The U.S. conservative hard-liners would be well advised to bear this in mind and stop acting rashly.
