| U.S. Can Never Cover Up Illegality of Its "War against Terrorism" | |
| 2004-11-25 | |
| KCNA -- The United States is taking much pain to justify its "war against terrorism" under the signboard of "spread of democracy". Lurking behind this is a sinister intention to cover up the illegality of the "war against terrorism" and include even the human rights issue in its category, says Rodong Sinmun Wednesday in a signed article. The U.S. efforts to veil its "war against terrorism" with the "spread of democracy" are attributable to the international community's strong opposition to and rejection of the war, the article observes, and goes on: The U.S. much publicized "spread of democracy" is aimed to fight a fiercer "war against terrorism". The U.S. is trying to justify its undisguised interference in the internal affairs of other countries and its wanton violation of their sovereignty with the slogans of "democracy" and "protection of human rights". Whenever an opportunity presented itself the U.S. has found fault with human rights performances in other countries which incur its displeasure and threatened to put political, diplomatic and economic pressure upon them if they do not settle the "human rights issue". Through this the U.S. seeks to instigate counter-revolutionary elements to cause social chaos and uneasiness and realize regime changes. The U.S. "strategy against terrorism" and human rights offensive conducted under the guise of "spread of democracy" is targeted against the DPRK today. The U.S. ruling quarters are escalating their moves to bring down the political system in the DPRK and stifle it under the pretext of its non-existent "sponsorship of terrorism" and "human rights abuses". But the U.S. human rights offensive and its moves to stifle the DPRK are bound to go bankrupt. The U.S. hands are stained with the blood shed by too many people to talk about the "spread of democracy." The U.S. imperialists, indeed, are hideous aggressors, destroyers of world civilization and biggest abusers of human rights in the world as they have wantonly violated international law under the pretext of "war against terrorism" and resorted to acts quite contrary to the universally recognized human ethics and cultural common sense.

| #11 When the folks at KCNA are just going through the motions, that's a pretty good indication that Kim Jong Il may be history. At the least, things are pretty unsettled and no one wants to stick their neck out until the situation clarifies. |

| #10 U.S. Can Never Cover Up Illegality of Its "War against Terrorism" Pardon me if I could give a royal gold-plated sh!t. The death of international terrorism infinitely transcends America's putative guilt or innocence vis same. Tough noogies, North Korea. |

| #8 in America that day, a family of twelve had to share a single 'frankerfurter'. I give Mike K's 20 year old memory a better score. 7.2 Them were the days. |

| #6 What happened to the good olde Nork propaganda? The thrill is gone. Did they eat all the old writers or what? This stuff is just buzzard bait. |

| #5 ...And not even so much as a whiff of Juche. Disappointing, VERY disappointing, especially to me - on Thanksgiving Day '84, I was at Kunsan AB, Korea, having my dinner and listening to Radio Nork tell me about how in America that day, a family of twelve had to share a single 'frankerfurter'.

| #3 Yes, I'd much rather eat grass and tree bark. Wouldn't want to (buuuuuuuuurrrrp) eat too much on Thanksgiving Day. |

| #1 Sheesh! Things must really be bad in North Korea. Poor Rodong Simnun is reduced to Xeroxing DNC/Int'l ANSWER talking points. Whatever happened to the might of single-hearted unity? |
