Re: Korean War strategies (response)

[<Jhk789@aol.com>]

Of course, all Koreans want a reunification
of their country--whether they are N.Koreans or
S.Koreans. We can't blame them for that.
They are homogeneous people with a rich culture 
& long history. 

After all, Americans fought a ferocious
Civil War(was it also for three years?) to keep
the country united.

In fact, Koreans were so eager to reunify their
country that they were probably ready to resort
to war if necessary. Syngman Rhee of S.Korea
was, I understand, openly talking about occupying
N.Korea in three days in 1949 and early 1950.
The tricky question is who actually started the war
in June 1950--Kim Il Sung or Syngman Rhee?
And what was the U.S. role & strategy in the unfolding drama?
