Improvement of North-South Relations Impossible with Confrontation Maniacs Still at Large: Rodong Sinmun
Pyongyang, December 29 (KCNA) -- The south Korean Lee Myung Bak group of traitors' confrontation hysteria has reached its extremes this year, creating a constant danger of war on the Korean Peninsula, says Rodong Sinmun Saturday in a bylined article.

It goes on:

After commencing his "New Year work" while letting out invectives inciting confrontation with fellow countrymen, the Lee group has been hell-bent on the moves for confrontation of social systems all the year round.

Whenever an opportunity presented itself, Lee talked about "consistent policy toward the north and "wind of change". He went the lengths of blustering that if the north does not abandon "its will to develop nuclear weapons and missiles", south Korea should "opt for focusing its attention on the change of system". Needless to say, this is a revelation of the group's criminal attempt to realize its treacherous ambition for "unification of social systems" while denying the idea and system of fellow countrymen.

The group's attempt at "unification of social systems" is clearly evidenced by its ridiculous charade about "unification jar" simulating "contingency" of the north.

The desperate moves of the group staking its lot at the confrontation of social systems reached their climax in an effort to do harm to the dignity of the supreme leadership of the DPRK.

The hideous state-sponsored, politically-motivated terrorist act which sparked off resentment and astonishment among all Koreans and the world brought into bolder relief what a dangerous stage the Lee group's racket for confrontation of social systems has reached.

Dependence on foreign forces is the Lee group's peculiar mode of existence.

The row kicked off by the group for confrontation with the DPRK in league with foreign forces has reached its climax through "human rights" abuses.

The ultimate aim of the confrontation policy sought by the group is to ignite a war of aggression against the DPRK.

The group rounded off its scenario for preemptive attack on the DPRK under the simulated conditions of an actual war through large-scale joint military exercises. They assumed extremely provocative and protracted nature not only in their contents but in their period and scale.

The north-south relations can never improve as long as traitors are allowed to pursue their confrontation policy of antagonizing fellow countrymen in south Korea. This is a lesson drawn again by all Koreans in the north and the south and abroad, looking back upon this year.
