Attack on U.S.Ambassador to South Korea

Watched the news feeds this morning while drinking coffee. The U.S, Ambassador ( Mark Lippert) to South Korea was attacked with a knife at a working breakfast luncheon  It took 80 stitches to close the wound on his face. He will be in the hospital for a few days of observation.

Mark Lippert was doing his job. Kim Jong Un of North Korea praised the attacker for this act of terror. It is a sad day when the leader of a country promotes violence over discourse. He actions teach by example. His example is aggression and knee - jerk  responses.  A leader should have some vestiges of maturity.

 I read the following before blogging.
