All Koreans Called upon to Go United for Peace and Security

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

  Pyongyang, October 25 (KCNA) -- It is impossible to smoothly settle the issue of Korea's reunification unless a peaceful atmosphere prevails on the Korean Peninsula. In case peace is harassed, all the fellow countrymen in the north and the south would suffer a horrible disaster of war. Rodong Sinmun Wednesday says this in a signed article. It goes on:
    In order for the north and the south to successfully cope with the prevailing situation they should hold high the banner of national independence, the main spirit of the historic June 15 joint declaration through which they declared at home and abroad that they would work together for peaceful reunification.
    The principle of independence serves as a fundamental one common to the north and south in frustrating outsiders' moves for aggression, defending peace and heading for reconciliation, unity and peaceful reunification. But a number of things that diametrically run counter to the principle of national independence are taking place in south Korea.
    Flunkeyism and dependence on foreign forces bring no good but only harm to peace and security in the present era where the north and the south should go in for unity and reunification in the spirit of "By our nation itself" reflected in the June 15 joint declaration.
    The United States is a dangerous force which persistently seeks to invade the north, far from working for peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.
    The Bush regime is more bellicose than any other successive regimes as far as its policy of aggression against the DPRK is concerned.
    The past history and the present reality clearly show who wants a war on the Korean Peninsula and who stands for peace on it. It is foolish of one to calculate that one can enjoy security by depending on such bellicose and war state as the U.S.
    The U.S. is a ferocious imperialist aggression force as it stoops to any infamy to infringe upon the security and interests of other countries and nations if it deems that necessary for the materialization of its strategy for domination. The U.S. is utterly indifferent to the security in south Korea.
    It is the outdated way of thinking dating back to the era of confrontation to contend that the north may attack the south if cooperation and "alliance" with the U.S. collapse. This is not true because the continued preservation of the "alliance" with the U.S. would only increase the danger of war in south Korea.
    All Koreans should go united in the struggle to protect peace from foreign aggression. Hence, the key to ensuring peace and security lies in national independence. Only when the north and the south pool efforts in the idea of "By our nation itself," can they frustrate any outsiders' moves to ignite a war and pave a wide avenue for peace, reunification and national prosperity.
