Statement

The second term of President Bush is already active in the expansion of America in expanding its influence and in trying to obtain natural resources of other countries to feed the war machine of American imperialism.

Before, the countries that were labeled "rogue states" included Afghanistan, Yugoslavia and Iraq. Lately this list grew to include Syria, Libya and Iran. Of course the countries of North Korea and Cuba were hailed as rogue states for a long time.

US policy says that "Look we are defending the countries who are in danger of attacks from these rogue states, who are "terrorist states!"

Just last February Bush named Iran as the "main sponsor of terrorism". Iran replied that US should reconsider their threat, because Iran will not sit idly by with folded hands when it is attacked.

Regarding the Bush doctrine towards North Korea, it has become more threatening and dangerous and it used its influence over South Korea and Japan to stop any economic cooperation with North Korea.

This has forced North Korea to make a statement, which says in part: "The true intention of the second-term Bush is not only to further its policy to isolate and stifle the DPRK, pursued by Bush’s first term, but to isolate it.

The US has declared a new ideological stand-off aimed at a "regime change" in North Korea, while talking at the same time about "peaceful and diplomatic solution" to the nuclear issue and the resumption of the "six-party talks" in their bid to mislead world public opinion.

With US imperialism being bogged down in Iraq they cannot afford another war in the East, but they’re using every method to destabilize North Korea by economic blockade and threats of attack.

Why is US afraid to sit down to talks face to face with the North Korea representatives? The charge that North Korea has a huge arsenal of nuclear rockets and the danger of North Korea attacking US, South Korea or Japan is pure propaganda. USA has over 690,000 US soldiers in South Korea, huge personnel in Japan, bases all over the East region – so, poor and tiny Korea is a danger? Japan itself has 52 Nuclear reactors plus all the nuclear weapon that the USA’s allies have in the East.

North Korea was never afraid of US and it’s not afraid now!

We welcome the news that North Korea has its own nuclear arsenal. This is for its defense and not for attack!

We are appealing to all Communist, workers and progressive movements in the world – lend support to North Korea in its correct policy of defending its sovereignty and building Socialism!

Workers of the World Unite! Arise in the struggle against world imperialism!

Let us not allow President Bush to start a new nuclear war, in which their is possibility of mankind perishing.
