This would have been unthinkable without the great feats of leader Kim Jong Il, who had wisely led the struggle for the human cause of independence under the banner of independence against imperialism, says Rodong Sinmun in an article Saturday.

Lauding him as a distinguished, elder statesman who established a new world political structure with the DPRK in the center, the article goes on:

It became an unbelievable reality that the U.S., which used to bluff world domination, had to read the face of the DPRK, not a big country, and the world politics proceeded as was determined and willed by Kim Jong Il.

Kim Jong Il was the lodestar of the human cause of independence who guided the development of history to independence.

He authored such famous works as "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable" and "Socialism Is a Science" to instill hope and confidence into the world progressives aspiring after socialism and showed in practice with what one should defend independence.

The U.S. and other imperialist forces' every move for aggression and pressure were frustrated by the might of Songun.

After all, the world politics could not but trend towards independence against imperialism.

Kim Jong Il is, indeed, the peerlessly great master of politics as he saved the world from the dark tentacles of the imperialists and provided a beacon of hope for the progressives.
