This is the first North Korean responds to the infamous Bush speech who called Iraq, Iran and North Korea as 'Axis of Evil'. Translation according to AP:


"What merits serious attention is that Bush disclosed his reckless attempt to stifle North Korea by force of arms. There has been no precedent in the modern history of North Korea-US relations that in his policy speech the US president made undisguised threatening remarks, being aggressive and threatening towards North Korea, an independent and sovereign state. This is, in fact, little short of declaring a war against North Korea. [...] The prevailing situation where the US openly disclosed its intention to stifle North Korea by force of arms makes us keenly realise once again what a just stand North Korea took when it has followed the US with vigilance and what a far-sighted policy it has pursued to equip itself with powerful offensive and defensive means, tightening its belt. [...] We are sharply watching the disturbing moves of the United States that has pushed the situation to the brink of war after throwing away even the mask of 'dialogue' and 'negotiations'. The option to 'strike', impudently advocated by the US, is not its monopoly. The heroic Korean people and army will never tolerate the US's reckless attempt to stifle North Korea by force of arms, but mercilessly wipe out the aggressors."
