Dear Mr. Williams:
How much money did the US and Japan pump into South Korea under Park,
for what reasons, and under what conditions? Were not efforts to build
democratic nations (in the sense of holding free elections, that mostly
would result in left-leaning governments) in third world countries
frustrated world-wide by the immediate revocation of financial support
in those cold war times? South Korea was fortified at all costs as a
strategic bulwark against the spread of communism in East Asia. Where
do you think the tiger genes came from? Confucianism?
Another observer,
Marion Eggert
