 * 1 ** - **You know historical quotes can bring old crusty things to like, so find one decent quote that helps add to the content of the Korean War (and provide some context for the quotes). For example ...**

//**"The attack upon Korea makes it plain beyond all doubt that Communism has passed beyond the use of subversion to conquer independent nations and will now use armed invasion and war."**// - President Harry S Truman in his speech describing the military involvement of the US in Korea, without a declaration of war from Congress.

//"In my generation, this was not the first occasion when the strong had attacked the weak….Communism was acting in Korea just as Hitler, Mussolini, and the Japanese had acted ten, fifteen, and twenty years earlier. I felt certain that if South Korea was allowed to fall, Communist leaders would be emboldened to override nations closer to our own shores."// - President Harry Truman. President Truman talks about how this same thing happened before WWII and that he's worried that Communism is going to take over the whole world.
