We've recently been accused of peddling propaganda here at Iberian Notes. We've been told that we're not paying enough attention to all sides of the story. You want all sides of the story? Check out the North Koreans' side of the story. Here's the best article up today. Note the sophisticated argumentation.

U.S. imperialists' ambition to dominate Korea under fire

Pyongyang, February 5 (KCNA) -- The U.S. imperialists should drop their moves to stifle the DPRK by force of arms, mindful that their bid is a daydream that can not be realized any time, says Rodong Sinmun today in a signed article. It goes on:
It is by the U.S. that the DPRK was compelled to withdraw from the NPT.
Since the emergence of the Bush administration, the U.S. imperialists have been more frenzied in the moves to stifle the DPRK. They designated it as part of an "axis of evil" and a target of preemptive nuclear attacks. Recently they clamoured for "tailored containment" and "military sanctions" upon the DPRK under the pretext of the "nuclear issue."
But it is a big miscalculation to think that the DPRK may be frightened by some military threat or pressure, "blockade" or "sanctions."
The U.S. imperialists should not run amuck, mindful of who is their opponent.
The DPRK Government's decision to withdraw from the NPT is revelation of the firm faith and will of its army and people to smash the U.S. imperialists' anti-DPRK campaign with the toughest stance and safeguard the sovereignty and security of the country.
We have invincible might enough to defeat any formidable enemy who encroaches upon our sovereignty and security.


You'll note that farther down the page we are informed that North Korean scientists have developed new antiseptics and paints. "Well, we haven't had anything to eat for two years except rice and bugs, but we've got a new antiseptic to treat the famine boils that are breaking out all over our bodies! Thank you, Dear Leader!"
