Rodong Sinmun on "Anti-Terrorism War"

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, September 13 (KCNA) -- The last four years during which the U.S. "anti-terrorism war" has been fought have laid bare its unjust, deceptive and reactionary nature because it has been nothing helpful to ensuring global peace and social progress, Rodong Sinmun Tuesday observes in a signed article. Why is the issue of terrorism getting more serious and knotty in this century than the last century and who is chiefly to blame for posing a grave threat to the global peace and stability and disturbing them? The article queries, and continues: The policy of military high-handedness and hegemony aimed to dominate and oppress other countries and nations is the main cause of creating and increasing the world-wide instability and fear of terrorism. The U.S. is chiefly to blame for this. As the shocking September 11 incident occurred in the U.S. four years ago, it took the opportunity of declaring a war against terrorism under the pretext of ensuring peace and security in its mainland and the rest of the world. When the "anti-terrorism war" began, the U.S. ruling quarters claimed that it was aimed at "making the world safer". But the reality is quite contrary to it. Fear of terrorism is the social symptom tormenting the international community after the start of this war. The world has come to realize that the U.S. anti-terrorism war is nothing but a means of domination as it calls for realizing its wild ambition for U.S.-led globalization by spreading U.S-style "freedom" and "democracy" by force of arms. What is obvious is that the "anti-terrorism war" now being fought by the U.S. under the spurious pretext of "combating terrorism" to realize its wild ambition for dominating the whole world has created the world-wide instability and fear of terrorism.
    The U.S. "anti-terrorism war" has only aggravated an evil cycle of terrorism and retaliation, destruction and death.
    The U.S. itself has paid a high price for this "anti-terrorism war". The U.S. society is in the grip of uneasiness and fear that when or where an attack would be made. The U.S. would be well advised to give up its aggressive and hegemonic "anti-terrorism war" as it goes against the trend of the times and is rebuffed and denounced by the international community and abandon its wild ambition to dominate the world.
