Reply to comment by domine18 in N. Korea fires ballistic missile toward East Sea by Kaysic
If the US was trying to support democracy then why did they destroy the people's councils that had been established in the south, fill the government and police force with former Japanese collaborators, and install a dictator in Syngman Rhee? And then after Rhee was eventually overthrown, why did the US support the military juntas that came into power?

As I said, they did a bad job of it. I am not arguing that the USA did a good job. But to say the USA provoked or threw the first punch is just wrong.

Actively suppressing democracy is not doing a bad job of supporting democracy, it is actively suppressing democracy.
