The U.S. is threatening, pressurizing and blackmailing Syria, groundlessly charging that it has provided Iraq with military supplies and it will be held responsible for the ensuing consequences. Rodong Sinmun (=newspaper in Democratic peoples Republic of Korea) today carries a signed commentary in this regard.

The Syrian government in statements of the Foreign Ministry and its spokesman dismissed the U.S. threat to Syria as a trick to cover up its setbacks in the Iraqi war and clarified Syria's principled stand to stand by Iraq and support it.
The measure taken by Syria is an independent one to be supported and hailed by the world. It is in line with the UN Charter and the humanitarian spirit for Syria to support Iraq whose people are being killed in cold blood by the military attacks perpetrated by the U.S. in violation of the UN and international law.
The U.S. military operation against Iraq is a serious state-sponsored terrorism and an infringement upon its sovereignty and human rights. The U.S. thinks it may destroy a sovereign state with its allies as it pleases so as to attain its aim of world domination but other countries should not be allowed to support the victim. What a gangster-like logic.
The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea extends solidarity to Syria, estimating its principled stand and measure as positive ones for justice and peace.
The U.S. unreasonable pressure, threat and blackmail against Syria will only invite world criticism and denunciation. The U.S. is well advised to stop its anti-Syria campaign.

Long live peace and socialism!
