Jimmy Carter's Dead Ambassador

His name was Adolph "Spike" Dubs.

He was Jimmy Carter's Ambassador to Afghanistan.

Where, on February 14, 1979, Ambassador Dubs was kidnapped and murdered by a pro-Communist Afghan faction known as the Setami Milli. The victim of what might be called the Jimmy Carter Apology Tour -- which preceded the Obama Apology Tour by over 30 years.
Ambassador Dubs' death is being recalled these days in a most interesting fashion.

Following the murder in Benghazi of Barack Obama's Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, along with two Navy Seals and Foreign Service officer Sean Smith, the Stevens murder is being frequently noted, as here in the New York Times, as "the first time since 1979 that an American ambassador had died in a violent assault."
