I lived in South Korea for a year and a lot of my students were ungrateful, blaming America for keeping Korea divided. However no South Korean government has asked the Americans to leave in 53 years there.

Yup to protect the spread of communism and also to protect our little buddies in Japan that we destroyed in WW2 and rebuilt into one of the financial powerhouses in the world. South Korea is becoming quite the manufacturing powerhouse also. All because of America!

I think that most South Koreans are very grateful that they did, if any of you disagree, then take a good hard look at what is happening in North Korea now

The USA invaded Korea. Put it down to the USA's paranoia about Communism taking over the world. They subsequently accepted an 'invitation' to 'protect' Vietnam.They are now trying to 'protect' Iraq and I'm sure the families of murdered civilians are very grateful. (Since the fall of the Soviet Union the new US paranoia appears to be Islam).
