Episode description

Former US Ambassador to South Korea Kathleen Stephens answers the question: How was martial law defeated within hours and the would-be dictator impeached?  Hint: The citizens, and the soldiers(!) said no.  Putting up barricades with sofas and chairs, and grabbing a gun from a soldier, one woman asked, "Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?"  Even the president accepted the rules set forth in the constitution.  But why?   For another one of Amb. Stephens's episodes with us, click here.  Vive la republique!
