John, do you think they believe it because it's true?  Lets look at the record.  How many tanks did the US and foriegn powers supply to SK before the start of the war?
0.  How about combat aircraft? 0.  Artillery?   a few old 105mm's.  How about weapons?  Yes, some small arms and about 3 days supply of ammunition.  Now, what did the Chinese and Russians supply to NK?  How's about T-34/85 tanks, fighters and bombers, artillery out the ying-yang and enough small arms and ammo for a big 'ol fish fry.  It matters not what Rhee said about going North, he knew and the NK knew that he wasn't holding any cards.  Damn, don't you just hate it when reality rears it's ugly head?
