Indeed, which is why all those other American-backed regimes in East Asia did so well, right?

You mean the ones whose presidents were similarly repressive to Park?

I get the point you're trying to make, I just don't think it really signifies enough to make up for the fact that he ruled as a tyrant to accomplish what he did.
