Washington bewildered by the adamant stance of Marshal Kim Jong Il

“North Korea’s withdrawal from the NPT is causing a sensation in the world.” (Indonesian daily “Compass”)

“Korea through the announcement of its withdrawal from the NPT surprised the world.

The progressive forces over the world regard this decision as a deserving and righteous measure for self-defense.

This step taken by Korea is a sincere warning to the American policy to stifle north Korea.

The US should learn a historic lesson from it.” (Fayez Ismail, General Secretary of the Socialist Unionist Party of Syria)

“The Korea’s withdrawal from the NPT is a just countermeasure of self-defense providing against the US plot to stifle it and the unreasonable action of the IAEA which toes the line of the US.” (“Cambodian Daily” of Cambodia)

“Korea throttles the US.” (New York Times of the US)

“Korea holds fast the hardline in the diplomatic showdown. It has won so far.” (The Times of Britain)

“Washington was bewildered by the adamant stance of Korea which firmly defends the sovereignty and independence of the country and never allows the US intervention in its internal affaires under the comrade Kim Jong Il’s leadership.

Pyongyang did not surrender to the American blackmail with its indomitable spirit so it showed the international community that the US could not but yield to such a stance.” (“Pravda” of Russia)

“Since Bush and his aides did not tackle the north Korea policy strategically the US behaves as a sensitive dwarf rather than a superpower.

The administration brought about the adverse upshot by the ado against north Korea.” (US senator Dem. Leeverman)

“Bush has no strategy to deal with north Korea.

He is typical of a bully.

The nuclear crisis came out by the US mistake.” (Leading figures of different International and Strategic Defense Institutions)

“The US should not bluff but go to the negotiating table with north Korea.

Bush’s north Korea policy stumbled and the US-north Korean relations deteriorated.

The Bush administration should be engaged in the direct talks with north Korea.” (Several US Democratic senators)

“It would be wise enough for the incumbent administration to change its policy and have the negotiations with north Korea even though it’s bitter to accept.” (A security adviser of the former US vice President Al Gore)

“In order to solve the North Korea’s nuclear issue the US government should negotiate with it to conclude a non-aggression treaty as the North demands.” (New Mexico governor Bill Richardson.)

“The UN is reluctant to intervene in the north Korea’s nuclear problem” (Le Monde of France)

“The US endeavors desperately to suffocate north Korea.

Who really threatens humankind?

Is it a country which possesses the weapons of self-defense or that one which stockpiled the weapons of mass destruction for the purposes of aggression and subjugation of other countries?

North Korea will give the US a lesson” (A Libyan daily “Al Zahf Al Akhdar”)

“The US is working hard to disarm north Korea with an unfair argument of <scrapping the nukes first, the dialogue next>. 

The US clamors over the nuclear weapons and other things but it should know that north Korea has something more powerful than the atomic weapons.

The heroic Korean people united solidly around great leader comrade Kim Jong Il will crush the reckless nuclear racket of the US imperialists and win the victory.” (Chairman of the People's Front of Peruvian Workers, Farmers and Students)
