   Pyongyang, September 28 (KCNA) -- It is a common demand of humankind and a pressing task of the times to ensure peace and the progressives should turn the 21st century into a century in which the independent demand and desire for peace of the popular masses would have been realized comprehensively, not a century in which the imperialist forces of aggression ride high and mighty, says Rodong Sinmun in a by-lined article Thursday. It goes on:
    Peace is the universal idea of humankind because it embodies the intrinsic demand of humankind and it is a highly important task of humankind to avert aggression and war and defend peace in the present era.
    The world peace-loving people are the driving force in the struggle to defend peace.
    Peace is not presented by anyone nor is guaranteed spontaneously. Still less do the imperialists present or can they present peace in view of their aggressive nature. Peace can be guaranteed only when the peoples of all the countries which treasure independence and love peace turn out as one in a relentless fight against the aggression and war provocation moves of imperialists.
    Unity is what brings victory to the struggle for peace against war. It is a truth of history and a bloody lesson drawn by the people that dismemberment means defeat and unity means victory in the struggle against imperialism.
    Differences in idea, ideology and systems cannot be a problem in achieving the unity of the world peace-loving forces; All the countries and peoples of the world interested in peace must be involved in the struggle to defend peace.
    The anti-war struggle is the key to world peace at the present juncture and its main target is the United States. The U.S. imperialists are the chieftain of aggression and war and the very wrecker of peace in the 21st century. A war can be prevented and world peace and security be guaranteed only when all the countries and peoples worldwide desirous of independence and peace fight determinedly against the aggression and war moves of the U.S. imperialists.
    The peoples of all countries worldwide should lift up louder voices against war and the U.S. and bind it hand and foot so that it could not cause a war as it likes.
    A peaceful climate can be created and the human cause of peace be accomplished earlier when blows are dealt to the aggression and war moves of the U.S. imperialists everywhere in the world and they are dismembered.
    The Korean people will together with the world progressives resolutely fight against the aggression and war moves of the imperialist forces, holding aloft the banner of peace, and thus make a sizable contribution to the human cause of peace.
