Why does North Korea hate the United States? Lets go back to the Korean War.

63. I appreciate your views and knowledge of all this.

I have dear friends in South Korea. One fellow is about 40. His parents were both from the North. When the war 'broke out," (boy, there's a great phrase), before my friend was born, his father fled south to find work and then planned to return for his wife. But, he could not get back and his wife was trapped. He waited some 20 years. Then he finally re-married and my friend was born.

Several years ago father WAS allowed to return to look for his wife. She had died, as had his other son. His daughter was still living, maybe 60ish years old now ?... He had to return to the south without them.

My friend's father died one year ago.
It is all a very sad business.
