You are South Korean President Syngman Rhee. It is 1953, and the Korean War has been raging for three years. After several bloody see-saw advances and retreats, the fighting has ground to a stalemate just north of the 38th parallel, where it all began. Armistice negotiations have resulted in an agreement that would end the war at the current battle lines -- a net gain for South Korea. Furthermore, U.N. forces would be allowed to remain in South Korea to protect against future attacks from the North. All the other combatants are ready to sign the agreement. You had hoped to unify North and South Korea, but the war has taken a devastating toll: Approximately 1 million South Koreans and 2 million North Koreans have already died in the conflict. What do you do?
