    Pyongyang, March 16 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists' "spread of democracy" is intended to quell the popular masses' desire for independence and block their progress, wreck the global peace and security and Americanize the world community. Rodong Sinmun today says this in a signed article.
    The U.S. much publicized "offer of democracy" is nothing but a sinister trick to use it as a political and military lever for intervention and aggression on other countries, the article points out, and goes on:
    The U.S. reactionary ruling quarters talk much about "freedom" and "democracy" not to protect the interests and rights of the popular masses but to maintain and strengthen their reactionary political system and exploit and plunder the masses in a more crafty way.
    The process of reconciliation, cooperation and peace has become a trend of the times. The U.S., however, is working in real earnest to attain its aggressive and predatory aims under the signboard of "spread of democracy".
    The reactionary nature of the U.S.-touted "establishment of a democratic order" finds its expression in the fact that the U.S. imperialists are fighting the "war on terrorism" in a more legitimate manner, claiming that it is to protect "democracy". The "war on terrorism" is, at present, one of their principal methods for spreading the American-style "democracy" worldwide. The "color revolution" is another method for "export of democracy" invented by the U.S. to dominate the world. The U.S. seeks to destabilize those countries which are not listed as targets of the "war on terrorism" by orchestrating that "color revolution" and set up pro-American governments there.
    The U.S. moves for "export of democracy" are little short of its interference in other countries' internal affairs and a violation of their sovereignty. It is pressurizing other countries and nations to accept and introduce the American political mode and lifestyle. Herein lies the reactionary nature of its moves for the "establishment of a democratic order" and "spread of democracy".
    The Bush administration's smear campaign against the DPRK's political system and its persistent "human rights" offensive against it are intended to spread the American-style "democracy" to the DPRK with an aim to destabilize and bring down Korean-style socialism.
