Brigandish U.S. Imperialist War against Iraq and Its Aftereffects

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK

    Pyongyang, March 20 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article terms the U.S. imperialist war against Iraq a vicious crime against history and humanity which betrayed the shameless, brigandish and outrageous nature of the U.S. imperialists as the worst aggressor nation in the world and kingpin of state-sponsored terrorism. The U.S. war which began with the attack on Baghdad with cruise missiles on March 20, 2003 was a blatant violation of the sovereignty of a legitimate independent state and an unpardonable wreckage of peace, the article says, and goes on:
    Bush-led hawks designated Iraq as a test ground of the latest weapons and psychological smear campaign in the 21st century and drove huge modern armed forces out to occupy the country that had been disarmed and defenseless by the result of the years-long inspection of weapons.
    The war brought great misfortune, pain, disgrace and insult to Iraqis, not "freedom" and "democratic development" touted by the U.S.
    The U.S. unleashed the war unilaterally in disregard of the United Nations, badly damaging the authority of the UN.
    With nothing the U.S. can justify and evade the criminal responsibility for the Iraqi incident.
    Complex problems cropped up in the international relations, terror-related incidents, armed conflicts and other bloodsheds are going on and socio-political stability and peace are menaced in different regions and countries, causing confusion in the wake of the Iraqi incident.
    The U.S. is entirely to blame for the Iraqi incident and all the consequences and should be judged by history.
    The army and people of the DPRK will more firmly build up the revolutionary base and physical deterrent force in every way under the uplifted banner of Songun.
    The world progressives should be aware of the lesson drawn from the Iraqi incident and turn out in a vigorous struggle against the U.S. and war.
