Comments on: Kathleen Stephens Most Popular US Ambassador in History? http://rokdrop.com/2009/01/05/kathleen-stephens-popular-ambassador-history/ Korea From North to South Sat, 26 May 2012 06:34:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: CPT Kim http://rokdrop.com/2009/01/05/kathleen-stephens-popular-ambassador-history/comment-page-1/#comment-270202 CPT Kim Mon, 05 Jan 2009 19:15:03 +0000 http://rokdrop.com/?p=10600#comment-270202 It is always nice to see that an ambassador speaks the host country's language. I think it should be a mandatory for all future ambassador to speak the language of the country they are posted. Can you imagined if any foreign ambassadors in DC don't speak English? BTW, I wondered how the history would have turned out if Kim Koo was elected as the ROK's first President instead of Rhee. Kim Koo was respected on the both side of the 38th Parrallel back in the late 40's before his assassination. It is always nice to see that an ambassador speaks the host country's language.

Ever hear of a little old country in Southeast Asia called Vietnam?
