I have an idea if are that darn bad why don't we just leave the Korean Peninsula and let South Korea defend themselves. Better yet why don't they compensate us for all of the lost lives of our men.

The United States government and American businessmen were directly involved in the course of events that gave Korea to Japan. The Taft-Katsura Secret Agreement in 1905 opened the door for Annexation in 1910. Theodore Roosevelt was pro-Japan. Carole Cameron Shaw's 2007 book The Foreign Destruction of Korean Independence explains a lot about US and other foreign countries actions leading up to and involvement in the Annexation.

Some posters mention the US backed government but don't mention President Rhee and his role. From the days of the Korean Provisional Government in Shanghai until his exile Rhee accused many dedicated Korean patriots of being communists. In the 1920's Rhee reported to the US goverment many Independence Movement leaders were Bolshevik Communists. He did this to keep them from proving Rhee's corrupt politcal activities. Rhee ordered some of the mass killings and influenced this action pitting Korean against Korean. Korean scholars are avoiding the truth of this matter and its connection to the mass graves that are being discovered.

The national catharsis over the events of the Korean War and the authoritarian government. The left in Korea will say it was due to conservative opposition. The truth is, the left knew the people (voters) did not want to have it. One reason they didn't want to have it: how the left demands the catharsis be framed. Just look at a couple of the movies that have parts that take place in the past. The big blockbusters I've seen define the South Korean people are pacivists - even after being invaded by the North. The left seems to demand that all radicals of the past be labelled moderate, peaceful, innocent civilians. The Roh government spent much of its time officially redefining these people and individuals. It spent much the rest of its time blaming the US and looking for more Nogunris. Few people I could notice through the press were willing to engage in real investigation into massacres committed by Koreans of any side.

Try and get that through the head of a Korean.

Koreans somehow get amnesia when it comes to what war crimes their people committed against the US soldiers.
