The prospect of this sort of treatment seems to turn the South Korean public on. Leave them to the North.

I read some newspapers (NYT) from the time, on microfiche at the public library, and the South felt very differently than they seem to do today.
They wanted to continue the war until the North was wiped out, and we should have let them. China could have used a good nuking, too. Unfortunately, our pal Uncle Joe, had grown too strong from all the aid and technology the West had given him. It was assumed the Soviets would attack us if we attacked China.
Now, as in the past, traitors in our country have built our enemy, China this time, up so we are limited in our options.
Also you must remember that the attitude of the South Koreans may be exactly the opposite of what the American news media would have us believe. Yes, we get to see the anti-American rallies and the Communist stooges. But I read there are also pro-American rallies that were held, but not reported widely in America.
