Not sure what to think about this newly disclosed piece of information, but it is interesting, although happened many moons ago.....this is " big " if it is true! www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1820559,00.html |

Like we could have stopped them. We were in their country, not the other way around. Not only that, it was a life time ago, way more then many moons.

The article shows that democracy is working in South Korea because they are facing and dealing with the issue. Contrast that with the recent "election" in Zimbabwe and the complacency of other African leaders in the mess. Didn't Jimmie Carter certify Mugabe's election as "fair and balanced"?

While a Democrat was in office......nothing new that is SOP.

Regardless of who was in office...Democrat or Republican, this is unacceptable and I would imagine against the Geneva Law.
The fact that we knew Koreans were killing Koreans should have been either addressed or we should have not been a part of this war!

Mink sez...
Way to Go Mink! Re-writing history again! Morals are not retroactive.
Perhaps you should read up on what was the common feeling at the time regarding the Communists in China and Russia. Come back and tell us what you learn.

Perhaps we shouldn't be hypocritical by helping some and not others. These were South Koreans killing South Koreans.....for fear of them possibly joining the other side. With that thought frame, we should just kill each other!
I'm not re-writing history gaffney.....just questioning it or couldn't you see this?

And America (to liberals) is always the source of evil worldwide throughout all of history.

Well, within THEIR cultural context it was fine. Life in that part of the world has always been valued much differently (and much lower) than in the west. Remember, we Americans are supposed to respect everyone elses culture. Mink, what happened to your mantra of tolerance, inclusiveness, and diversity? I thought the hard core leftists like you were supposed to practice those traits for everyone except white Christian males. And, isn't relativism all the rage with the left? Since it was OK within their culture to do something like that, who are we to impose our white, euro-centric, Christian morality on them?
