Yes, I believe the U.S. should have been involved in the Korean War. The spread of communism was a major concern during the Cold War era, and the U.S. saw the Korean Peninsula as a strategic location to contain the spread of communism in Asia. Additionally, the United Nations authorized military action in Korea, and the U.S. felt a responsibility to uphold international agreements and protect democracy. Finally, the North Korean invasion of South Korea was seen as a threat to global stability and the U.S. felt it was necessary to intervene to prevent further aggression.
