U.S. anti-DPRK campaign denounced

[Huzington]

from http://www.kcna.co.jp/index-e.htm

. . . U.S. State Department spokesman Richard Boucher . . . made public some "information" related to the DPRK's export of missiles, noting that other countries should refrain from military cooperation with North Korea. . . . The U.S. assertion that the DPRK's export of missiles is illegal and threatens other countries and thus they should break off trade and military cooperation with the DPRK is a frantic violation of the principle of respect for the sovereignty of independent states and non-interference in others' internal affairs. . . .
The U.S. had exported weapons worth nearly 50 billion dollars from 1997 to 2001. The U.S. tops the list of weapon export states, gaining huge profits.
It is none other than the U.S. that has committed illegal acts in exporting weapons and threatened other countries.
The U.S. sinister anti-DPRK campaign aims to internationalize "threats" from the DPRK to lay a "collective siege" to the DPRK. The U.S. moves to form a "collective siege network" against the DPRK are, in essence, the revelation of its dangerous attempt to bring the DPRK under its control by the allied imperialist forces and international reactionaries.
The DPRK's development, deployment and export of missiles is a matter belonging to the sovereign right of the Korean people. If the DPRK does not have such a powerful war deterrent force as missiles, it may be attacked by the U.S. any time. The U.S. racket about the development, deployment and export of missiles in the DPRK can never go down with the Korean people.
The determination of the Korean people to strengthen the self-defensive military power in every way under the Songun banner will never be shaken whatever others may say.

Why pick on them alone? I agree their missile trade should be stopped, but the whole arms trade is global disgrace.

Take this for instance. The British selling tanks to Indonesia which are then used in the brutal repression of their own people.

British arms underpin Jakarta's force

The value of British arms cleared for export to Indonesia rose from £2 million in 2000 ($A4.9 million) to more than £40 million last year, a 20-fold increase.

The British Government has approved a substantial rise in arms sales to Indonesia despite guidelines stating that it would not export weapons if they could be used for internal repression or fuel regional instability.

Last week, Indonesian commanders deployed Scorpion tanks - sold by Britain - in the campaign to crush separatists in the province of Aceh after earlier assurances that British equipment would not be used for internal repression.

More than 80 non-governmental organisations last week called for a global arms embargo on Indonesia after credible reports of systematic human rights violations by troops in Aceh.

Come on, let us not derail the discussion. We need not be here commenting on my signature.

And just so you know, I have read "The Black Book of Communism". Yes, I have. And more than once. But the confutations, the accomulation of mathematical errors which has resulted in absurd figures which, in fact, the editors have acknowledged; historical errors which the editors have acknowledged and have not acknowledged; the questionable sources; the contradictions within the book itself; the fact that one of the authors is a Nazi sympathiser who makes use of the claims of people who have admitted lying about their claims; the fact that the Soviet Archives and personal testimony contradict much of the Black Book; the deliberate downplaying and ignoring of certain facts, and the deliberate exaggeration of others -- so many errors, errors so abundant that if mentioned they would crash the server -- these have nothing to do with the subject of discussion.

Actually, I was thinking about starting a topic about the Black Book.

Are you a comedian for Saturday Night Live?

Start a thread on the Black Book of Commmunism. We can take it page by page. Since you celebrate communism it should be easy for you to list all the inconsistencies in the work and defend them.
