Assassination Attempt on Park Geun Hye!
"Let's save democracy!," shouted the drunks, like Dostoevsky's Devils, attacking the leader of the conservative Grand National Party with a utility knife. Miss Park required surgery and sixty stitches in the face. Her recovery, thank God, looks good. She'll require further plastic surgery.

Here's the full story: (Roundup) Opposition leader attacked by two drunken men.

The tone for this attack was set by the Jacobinical "Participatory Government" of President Roh Moo-hyun. The man who compares himself to Lincoln, The American Lenin, has taken The Politics of Envy to new levels. Miss Park's would-be assassins were simply taking democracy, rule by the mob, to its logical extension.

Our prayers, of course, are with Miss Park, a fellow Catholic. She is the daughter of the great Park Chung Hee, the man who took South Korea from a sub-Saharan standard of living to the First World. Both her parents' lives were claimed by assassins.
