U.S. Policy of Strength Bound to Go Bust

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

   Pyongyang, April 23 (KCNA) -- The U.S. has pursued the policy of strength, bent on high-handed and arbitrary practices out of extreme arrogance, but it is now bound to go bust. Rodong Sinmun Monday observes this in a signed commentary.
    Citing facts to prove that the political contradictions and bickering have become more pronounced between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party and between the Bush administration and the Democratic Party in the U.S. over the Iraqi issue, the commentary goes on:
    The Democratic Party which has a majority in Congress succeeded in making it pass a resolution indicating even a timetable for the withdrawal of the U.S. forces from Iraq, considering the failure of the Iraqi war an established fact, whereas Bush threatened to exercise a veto on the resolution, terming it a "surrender and retreat" in Iraq.
    The U.S. Congress warned that in case the president exercises a veto on the resolution, he himself would be to blame for having barred the allocation of funds whereas the Bush group intends to shift the responsibility for it onto Congress.
    While in office Bush exercised a veto only on one bill but he is poised to veto 16 motions that have already passed through the Senate three months after the Democratic Party began dominating Congress. Heavyweights of the Democratic Party are becoming increasingly assertive that the party should go in the direction of settling the issues by meeting head-on the stance of the Republican Party in Congress, not avoiding confrontation with it.
    It was a blatant challenge to the White House that the speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives from the Democratic Party visited Syria recently despite the repeated opposition from it.
    The U.S. is revealing its vulnerability not only in the political and military aspects but in the economic field due to the policy of strength pursued by the Bush group.
    The wrangling between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party over the Iraqi issue, the sinking popularity rate of Bush and the worldwide condemnation of his high-handed practices and policy of strength, etc. indicate total bankruptcy of the U.S. domestic and foreign policies.
    The reality eloquently proves that those clinging to the policy of strength despite the unanimous opposition and protest of the international community are bound to meet a miserable lot.
    The U.S. would be well advised to draw a serious lesson from this and abandon its foolish dream of realizing its ambition for world domination.
