The Korean war could've gone differently if President Rhee didn't exist. In a way, SK was lucky to have Syngman Rhee as the 1st president of ROK.

He is celebrated for his patriotism by both North and South. He is lucky to live to be 60 after Japanese prisons five times. He died few weeks after being released from Sodaemun prison.

It makes me sick the way people like Yasser Arafat and Ahn Chang Ho twist history and now claim to be heros. Some Dosan facts: Do san is his nickname, and "do san" means crap or poo moutain. He was born in Pyongyang, and as a North Korean he is celebrated in the south by lefties. He lived to a ripe age past 60 (very rare in those days when the average Korean life span was between 24 and 42) Dosan Ahn Chang Ho=Terrorist.

For someone that wants to advocate for certain historical points you sure are not willing to debate and defend them.
