But not all. A movement to tear down the statue has been gaining momentum recently among some younger South Koreans, who call it a symbol of U.S. occupation and oppression

These spoiled punks don't seem to understand what the Japanese understand all too well...and that is that Kim Jong Il has plans to finish the job that Stalin and Mao.... sorry....his father started (and then some).

And when he puts those plans into motion,the only people who can count on help from us are the Japanese.

Interestingly, the Japanese have a monument of sort to MacArthur on some of Tokyo's most expensive real estate-- the top floor of the Dai-Ichi Insurance Building facing the Imperial Palace. It is from this office that MacArthur ran the occupation which transformed Japan from a military dictatorship to a free modern country after World War II.

The young punks in Korea who'd tear down MacArthur's statue deserve to be airdropped into North Korea, parachutes optional.

They wouldn't mind. They would be quite happy as camp guards and secret policemen.

"Back then, if anybody had protested they would have been shot instantly. It would have been clean and easy," Jeon said. "It was clean and easy in those days."

God Bless him.

Always, for them: Duty, Honor, Country; always their blood and sweat and tears, as we sought the way and the light and the truth. - Gen MacArthur

That stinks!

Last time I looked, we were still "occupying" S. Korea, so what's the deal!

"The protesters are led by a coalition of student and labor groups, including the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Korean Teachers and Education Workers Union."

AKA: "Fellow travelers."

". . .If it were not for him, our country would not have been colonized and divided as it was," said Kim Guk Rae, a 40-year-old activist from Inchon who is one of the leaders of the movement.

That's right, sugar-pie. If it weren't for MacArthur Korea would be one united country, and you'd be slowly starving to death and trying to live on grass like your cousins in the north. I'm sure the agony of starvation would be tempered for you by the pleasures of knowing that you're ideologically pure.

My father served under MacArthur and my brother is named for him. I was raised to revere him. Be damned to these miserable ungrateful people, who don't understand that it is due to him they have the freedom to demonstrate amidst the wealth of the new South Korea.

[garyhope]

I think we should remove all our troops and our money from S. Korea immediately and let the S. Koreans rot. Let the NK's invade and turn their POS country into another starving communist paradise overnight.

Screw all the ingrates of the world.

"If not for him, our country would not have been divided"

Yes, it would have been "unified" under Communism and you would all live like slaves.

The protesters must have been Communists, if that's what they wanted.

[denydenydeny]

"It is time to reappraise MacArthur's role in history. If it were not for him, our country would not have been colonized and divided as it was,"

Yeah, you'd ALL be living under President Eraserhead and eating tree bark. Idiot.

[billnaz]

This wouldn't happen in the Philippines. All the Filipinos I have ever known, young and old, revere General MacArthur almost as much as their saints.

[SevenofNine]

Hey LUV Listen you know what they be happy to be Worker in North Korea you got to remember there are lot youth in South Korea population who don't remember Korean conflict that parent war

They want peace and harmony with CHia PET
