Re: Cause of the Korean War ?

Nick
Please note that Korea was at the early 1950s. The events in the Soviet block at the end of 1940s caused a major change in approach towards Soviet Union and Stalin among western leftist circles as well as countries like Israel or Yugoslavia. Decisive were immediate post-war years, and in the period I cannot find any anti-Soviet decisions by Attlee.
Concerning NHS or NES, the question is if those systems still work. Based on what I have talked to British subjects (including natives), it does not. Such ideas work perfectly in a short term period when there are amassed resources, but then they become burden, and then lead everything to collapse. We know that very well form our Polish experience.
Well, the discussion drifts away from the subject, so if you are interested to continue, please, drop me an email.
