US Embassy Attacked!

Early on January 12, the American Embassy in Athens was victim to a terrorist attack! Luckily, nobody was injured, but a small part of the building was damaged. It is frightening to think that a place that is supposed to be a haven for American travelers and diplomats would be attacked so ruthlessly. As a result, the already heightened American security will be strengthened even more, the Greek government will try to help, but a good amount of the population dislikes the U.S.
This reminds me of the book "So Far from the Bamboo Groves," an autobiography of a young Yoko Kawashima Watkins escaping the Japanese occupied Korea during World War II. During the book, the girl and her family were fleeing via medical train when they were suddenly attacked, which shocked everyone because even in wars it was illegal to fire at a vehicle marked with the Red Cross. What was supposed to be a haven for the sick was attacked, just as the terrorism on the United States Embassy is completely uncalled for.
