The South Korean regime wasn't that much better than the North Korean one at the time in question. As usual, it was mainly the civilians suffering, with millions of casualties and cities razed to the ground.

What if isn't a valid question in history, as you well know. Kim the older could have overstretched himself by swallowing the whole peninsula and his regime could have fallen sooner. On the other hand, China would have backed him, no matter what. The questions to be asked has two aspects. What would have been better for the Korean people at large? And what would have been better for the West?

Okay, so it has two aspects, although I'm mostly talking about for the Korean people.
