He was removed from his position in 1957, and completely purged in 58. Not 49, not the 60's.
>Then you are arguing that the US "supported" the South because of these 300 American soldiers.
Again, this is not my argument. The US invaded North Korea with over 400,000 troops. I linked you the details of this invasion, it's common knowledge that it happened.
I'm not trying to create a moral equivalence, you accused someone of spreading disinfo for a factual version of events.
I've said that North Korea had a horrible human rights record, and that I wouldn't be surprised if their were prewar massacres. That doesn't change that the US invaded to prop up the military dictatorship headed by Rhee. Maybe his dictatorship was better than the North's would have been, I won't speculate. Either way, the US is the reason Korea wasn't unified under the North.
I have no idea what Chomsky pamphlet you think I'm getting this from, you're making up most of what you think my argument is. Let's keep it simple, Rhee was a military dictatorship, the US invaded North Korea to ensure he stayed in power.
