On a personal note, my mother's cousin, who is now in his 90s, was an
army doctor who ran hospitals in Asia and a personal fried of
Eisenhower's son.  Perhaps for this reason, he was part of a committee
to decide whether to drop an atomic bomb on N. Korea.  The reason the
army refrained from doing so was a fear that the prevailing winds would
deposit the radiation on the U.S. troops.

I might mention that I find it preposterous that S. Korea could be held
up as having anything to do with democracy.
