North Korea issues 'wartime guidelines'
Citizens told to be ready for a protracted war against the U.S.The Associated Press
Updated: 7:30 a.m. ET Jan. 5, 2005SEOUL, South Korea - North Korea has ordered its citizens to be ready for a protracted war against the United States, issuing guidelines on evacuating to underground bunkers with weapons, food and portraits of leader Kim Jong Il.

The 33-page “Detailed Wartime Guidelines,” published in South Korea’s Kyunghyang newspaper on Wednesday and verified by Seoul, was issued April 7, 2004, at a time when the communist regime was claiming it was Washington’s next target following the Iraq war.

...

Analysts said the guidelines reflected Pyongyang’s fear over a possible U.S. military strike amid stalled talks on its nuclear weapons programs. They said the guidelines were also meant to whip up a sense of crisis among its 22 million people, reportedly growing discontent amid economic hardship.

2. Northern Korea would be wise to prepare against aggression.

This is not only within their rights but is also their responsibility to prepare for aggression by the US. It is the right of every sovereign nation to struggle against imperialist aggression, which is precisely what a US invasion would be an example of.
