Those of the ministry made 1,000 badges calling it "symbol of preparation for unification embodying the necessity of financial resources for unification". They tried to give impression that they had done something for reunification.

This is a disgusting action of sleep-walkers dreaming of a foolish "unification of social systems", Rodong Sinmun Sunday says in a bylined commentary.

Noting that the issue of national reunification is not a matter controlled by a petty amount of money, the commentary goes on:

Now all the members of the Korean nation unanimously demand traitor Lee Myung Bak repeal confrontation policy, not money. Owing to the confrontation moves of the Lee regime, the north-south relations plunged into a deadlock and big hurdles are lying in the way for cause of independence and peace and prosperity.

If the south Korean ruling quarters have an iota of idea for national reunification to meet the aspiration and demand of the Korean nation, they should think about dropping the anachronistic confrontation policy and implementing the June 15 joint declaration and the October 4 declaration, instead of getting concerned for "Jar of Unification" and "financial resources for unification".

They are trying to bring down the DPRK which has the single-minded unity of the army and people with such despicable "Jar of Unification." It is a miscalculation and daydream.

The DPRK's answer is clear as long as they are going desperate to hurt the DPRK, going against the trend of the times for independent reunification. The DPRK will mercilessly wipe out the traitors obsessed with confrontation of social systems with the united strength of the entire nation at home and abroad and surely achieve the historic wishes for national reunification.
