Korea ��� Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- The south headquarters of the National Alliance for the Country's Reunification reportedly issued a statement on March 12, censuring the U.S. for its reckless nuclear war plan recently disclosed. The statement said: ��� The confidential report "reexamination of nuclear posture" made by the U.S. Department of defense early this year confirmed again that the "reduction of strategic weapons" on its lips was only a camouflage to cover up its brutal and violent nature. ��� The U.S., which does not hesitate to threaten humankind with its nuclear weapons, is real "axis of evil." ��� The Korean nation has never given the U.S. the right to obstruct the implementation of its task with nuclear weapons and will never remain a passive onlooker to its aggressive acts, the statement stressed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rodong Sinmun calls for maintaining independence ��� Pyongyang, March 15 (KCNA) -- A country depending on foreign forces can not have its own view and faith and may dance to the tune of others and, finally, go to ruin. Rodong Sinmun says this in a signed article. ��� This is proved by the situation of the East European countries that had once built socialism, the paper says, and goes on: ��� The situation of these countries gives a serious lesson that independence keeps a country alive and dependence on others brings forth flunkeyism and makes a mess of the revolution and construction. ��� It is more important to get rid of dependence on foreign forces and maintain independence in connection with the cunning moves of the imperialists. ��� Those countries that undergo socio-economic hardships and disasters of national disputes should find a solution to them by themselves and should not repose expectations in the imperialists' "aid" or "prescription". ��� The experience of the Korean revolution clearly shows that keeping an independent stand and the Juche character makes it possible to defend the sovereignty and interests of a country and demonstrate the dignity and honor of a nation. ��� The people aspiring after independence should not give up their independent faith and Juche character no matter what difficulties and hardships they may face but invariably advance along the road of independence. _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
