In this regard, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed commentary: The Japanese authorities themselves admit that the recently test-fired rocket can be used for military purposes as it is a perfect "prototype rocket" easily convertible into an inter-continental ballistic missile. The rocket test-fire was conducted as part of moves for space militarization at a time when the moves for the revival of militarism and the conversion of Japan into a military power are being stepped up in Japan. This is one more criminal act of threatening the peace and stability in north-east Asia. What merits particular attention is that the United States and Japan are getting more undisguised in their moves to put spurs to the ongoing joint research into the Missile Defense (MD) system with the rocket test-fire as a momentum. The Japanese officials concerned with defence claim that the Japan-U.S. joint technological research into the MD is aimed to "cope with the missile from North Korea." The MD jointly pushed forward by the U.S. and Japan is not for "defense" but is designed to have a military edge over other big powers and hold military supremacy. But the DPRK will certainly force Japan to pay a high price for the anti-DPRK diatribe launched in the wake of its rocket test-fire. The Japanese reactionaries have gone the length of clamoring for an independent Missile Defence system, asserting that it is necessary for Japan to continue its research into it as a "North Korean missile crossed the airspace of Japan." The DPRK is compelled to take a counter-measure by the moves escalated by Japan to militarize space and set up its independent missile system under the pretext of "threat" from the DPRK. Japan's desperate attempt to develop new types of missiles targeted against the DPRK has reached a very dangerous phase. This compels the DPRK to reconsider its stand whereby it declared a moratorium on its satellite launch. The missile program of the DPRK is of peaceful nature but is not merciful to those who dare infringe upon its dignity and sovereignty. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------- This Discussion List is the follow-up for the old stopnato @listbot.com that has been shut down ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?a84x2u.a9spWA Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [email protected] T O P I C A -- Register now to manage your mail! http://www.topica.com/partner/tag02/register ==^================================================================
