In reply to: Mr. Davis 's message, "Eisenhower" on Friday, February 01, 11:39:29am

During his presidential campaign, Eisenhower made the promise to end the Korean War, and unlike some of his predecessors he followed through with this promise. The same year that he took office, he created a truce with Korea, and although the war did not end in a victory, his gracious actions saved the lives of many American soldiers. This was his greatest foreign policy action for several reasons. First, not only did he make a commitment to end the war but he followed through with this. Next, he was not obsessively competitive and he understood that getting the soldiers home safely was more important than the US winning the war. His actions were intelligent and wise; one can only hope that future presidents will be able to make similarly sensible decisions.
