...first, Kondracke whines that Korea has gotten a raw deal in the U.S. press. Just because Park Chung Hee is supported by U.S. troops and aid doesn't mean we should scrutinize him more carefully than we do other dictators. Really, Kondracke writes, "it all seems no way to treat an ally." But if you don't scrutinize allies, who do you scrutinize...

He was aware, Park said, that the G.I.s could not remain in Korea forever...
...dictator Park Chung Hee keeps the country in a continuous state of paranoia, based upon the alleged imminence of attack by North Korea. It may bring a little perspective to this situation to realize that the South has 35 million people to the North's 16 million; a GNP in 1974 of $17.5 billion to the North's approximate $5 billion and armed forces totalling 625,000 to the North's 467,000 (International Institute for Strategic Studies, London...
