As president, he accepted the Korean armistice. George Will doesn't like the memorial now being considered for "Ike," but he does like Jean Edward Smith’s biography "Eisenhower in War and Peace." Will's comments appear in one of the favorite newspapers of the ROK dropping community, the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/eisenhower-memorial-misses-the-man/2012/02/16/gIQAJkehKR_story.html?hpid=z2" rel="nofollow">WashingtonPost.</a> Will notes parenthetically that Eisenhower was the only foreigner ever to stand alongside Stalin atop Lenin’s tomb. I know he did stand there, to review the Victory Parade, but I don't know if was really the only foreigner ever so honored.
