| Worldwide criticism of U.S. gets stronger |

| Pyongyang, December 25 (KCNA) -- The international community is becoming increasingly critical of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and warning it of its adverse consequences. Foreign policy analysts and personages in different countries are unanimous in their views that the U.S. loud-mouthed fiction of North Korea's "nuclear program" and its assertion that dialogue with Pyongyang is possible only after it scraps its "nuclear program" are aimed to put the Korean Peninsula under its control and create a favorable atmosphere and conditions for carrying out its strategy to dominate Asia. Regime change... Regime change... Regime change... The Finnish Kominform News Agency in an article posted on its internet homepage dismissed North Korea's "nuclear suspicion" as a pretext invented by the Bush administration to mount a military attack on it. It called on the international community to closely follow the moves taken by the U.S. after groundlessly kicking up a nuclear racket. Now that we've heard from the Finnish Communists, who are central to the formation of world opinion... Harising Khang, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) in a statement said that what the U.S. truly seeks in raising a hue and cry over North Korea's "nuclear issue" is to destroy the economy of the DPRK and stifle its socialism. NKor's already destroyed its own economy and wallows in its socialism. "Would you like some of these stones? They're really tasty!" The per capita income in South Korea was 13 times higher than that in North Korea last year. If the Communist Party of India (Marxist) ever managed to come to power, they could reverse India's growth, too, and we'd be back to sending food to the "starving children in India," too. The Dec. 13 issue of the British newspaper Guardian in an article on the situation on the Korean Peninsula said that such world-stunning announcements made by North Korea as its declaration on resuming the operation of its nuclear facilities and its statement accusing the U.S. of its operation to seize a DPRK ship carrying missile parts that ended in failure convinced the world how difficult it is to deal with the North Korean Government. I think they might have misinterpreted al-Guardian's position. The fact that it's "difficult" to deal with NKor doesn't make NKor's position correct. Even the Guardian, except for the far left side of the press room, accepts that. North Korea is stunning its rivals stronger than itself in a do-or-die spirit, far from yielding to them, and winning victory by employing strategies and tactics more skillful than theirs. It also said that the U.S. and its allies might have miscalculated, quoting a military expert as saying that the outside world does not understand the psychology of North Korea and it will not bend its knees. Mmmm... Yeah. The stupidity and clumsiness of NKor's moves has indeed been stunning... Many other countries are warning Bush, accustomed to superpower behaviour and seized with war fever, to behave with discretion, well aware of North Korea's attitude toward the U.S. Which appears to be influenced by the phases of the moon... Even the most conservative diplomats of the U.S. are criticizing Bush's policy, saying that a war with the DPRK is unimaginable and horrible consequences to be entailed in case North Korea burning with revengeful thought takes military actions compels the U.S. to reconsider the war option. Even a limited military attack on a nuclear power plant arouses apprehensions as the DPRK may regard it as a declaration of war, it added. I enjoyed the statement the other day from some predictable source — and I don't remember which one it was — that the reason NKor is acting the way it does is because Bush included it in the Axis of Evil. Takes us back to elementary laws of cause and effect, doesn't it? I don't suppose there's any remote chance that he included it in the Axis of Evil because it acts the way it does? |

| #2 Ah, the good old KCNA. The Korean Central News Agencies is a pretty hilarious read, except that people are actually forced to listen to this propaganda there, and nothing else. |

| #1 I enjoyed the statement the other day from some predictable source — and I don't remember which one it was — that the reason NKor is acting the way it does is because Bush included it in the Axis of Evil. That predictable source must be an idiot. NKor's saber rattling is, what, a few weeks old, but Bush made his "Axis of EEEEevil" speech over a year ago. How does the 'predictable source' explain that lag, or does he bother to? Can't help but notice the timing of these rants to our military buildup in Iraq, making Bush 100% right in his claim. |
