General Park was a dictator. S. Korea became prosperous only after the death of Park. Maybe or maybe not Park was the proper person for S Korea at the time. What we see now is incredible economic activity for S Korea. I have no idea what the changings in a few words in S. Korean textbooks have to do with S. Korea. Stalinist or non-Stalinist type BS. Perhaps, now that they are free they don’t have to claim that they are free?!
The Conservatives in Korea should be more than pissed.
The official name of the government of North Korea is:
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Maybe this all lost (or gained) something in translation. Try as I might, I can’t get worked up about it.
