Rodong Sinmun N-S Ties Can Not Become Plaything of Confrontation-minded Maniacs
Pyongyang, March 11 (KCNA) -- The north-south relations have hit the lowest ebb for the first time in history due to the hideous provocation of confrontation-minded maniacs including traitor Lee Myung Bak who defamed the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK, says Rodong Sinmun in a bylined article Sunday.

The north-south relations have plunged to complete deadlock due to the group of traitors' treacherous and anti-reunification acts that war may break out any time, the article says, and go on:

Dialogue and cooperation between the north and the south of Korea are the best way for removing the danger of the war from the Korean Peninsula and achieving the independent reunification, peace and prosperity through the national reconciliation and unity.

However, the Lee group has escalated the confrontation, regarding the compatriots as an object that it can not get reconciled and united.

The Lee group is made up of confrontation-minded maniacs who spoke ill of the north-south joint declarations and the idea of "By our nation itself" which all the Koreans unanimously support as the reunification program of the new century. It is also the chieftain who stroke down all the achievements the compatriots have made with patriotic enthusiasm.

The puppet military warmongers have taken the lead in making desperate efforts to realize the traitor Lee's policy of escalating the confrontation.

War maniacs hell bent on igniting a war against the north let loose a spate of bellicose assertion such as "preemptive attack against the north" and constantly waged all kinds of joint military drills including Key Resolve, Foal Eagle and Ulji Freedom Guardian, escalating the tension on the Korean Peninsula to an extreme phase.

The north-south relations on which hinges the destiny of the nation and the future of the reunification can not become a plaything of the south Korean ruling quarters' policy of confrontation with the north.

It is imperative to force the Lee group to pay a price for treacherous and anti-reunification crimes in order to pull the north-south relations from the worst catastrophic phase and vigorously promote the trend of the June 15 era of reunification.

Those who hurt the social system and dignity of the DPRK will never be able to survive in this land.
