  There was a point in Korean War when the US and SK pushed all the way to the Chinese border. Mao hit back with a vengeance. After that the US military were unwilling to take the war north of the 38th parallel.

  And this one was General MacArthur biggest blunder, ignoring the civil authorities and acting like he was really an Emperor. WW3 was almost started; after the ensuing stalemate everyone kind of chickened out. There are no easy solutions, used to be that we will quiet NK with food and money; now they are really dangerous.

  I fault dwight for giving in and not finishing it and the world community as whole for quiting, although in the wake of WW2 the lack of appetite for armed conflict is understandable.

  The Eisenhower Administration inherited the war, the situation is one that has never changed; the risk of all out war was and is having to fight China and back then also Russia.

  The big mistake was made during the 90s when NK was allowed to gain the capability for nuclear weapons, the politicians that made those decisions have a big D after their names. It is very unfair to blame Dwight or Donald for someone's else mess.

  christopher columbus could be next on the monuments chopping block.. the 76-foot structure honoring the explorer at columbus circle should be among the statues reviewed by the city for potential purging, city council speaker melissa mark-viverito said on monday.. http://nypost.com/2017/08/21/columbus-circle-monument-could-be-next-statue-to-go/.

  if this goes on, these people are just validating what the orange one said, where will it stop?

  how will people 200 years from now look back on us?

  “Gone With the Wind” will be gone from The Orpheum’s summer movie series, the theater’s board said Friday.

  I posted a link to this information, I was wondering what is going to happen with "Roots"; GWTW is child's play compared to Roots and the later served back in the 70s to awake a lot of people to the horrors of slavery.

  I guess that it will have to be banned.

  GWTW was historical in many aspects, one of them was that Hattie McDonald became the first African American actress to win an Oscar.

  MLK, hands down

  Why?

  His deeds were related to a US segment of the population and if we are going to believe the current state of race relations in America nothing has been resolved. I think that his early demise derailed his movement and was an impediment for many of the changes that he was advocating. And remember he was a Republican.

  Columbus affected the world not just one country.

  "I view Columbus in the same light as Lewis and Clark"
  I guess we agree after all.

  Just up to a point, what Columbus did was way, way bigger and with less resources than Lewis and Clark.

  "maybe 'a brave and skilful explorer' deserves a monument?"
  Why not, a little one. But Columbus Day? That's a whole different story that needs revising.

  This is an interesting point, the same people that are tearing down Columbus, fought very hard to get an MLK national holiday.

  Please, be honest and tell me which one of the two made more significant contributions for mankind.

  I think that I was very clear as to mentioning Columbus as an explorer and nothing else. The freedoms that came out were related to social changes influenced by advanced European thinkers and the will of the natives here to try a system of Government different to the traditional Europeans Monarchies.

  I view Columbus in the same light as Lewis and Clark.

  I keep saying you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.
