Yeah, long before I was born.

On the other hand, my dad was killed by islamic fundamentalist terrorists between the end of college classes and my graduation ceremony. I remember that.

And that was back in the early 80's, in the first embassy carbombing ever. You'd think with all the others, and the blown-up planes and assassinated university presidents and all that we would have learned something by now.

Sadly, even 9-11 didn't teach us anything, apparently. We, in this case, being the Americans as represented by our elected government.

Sigh.

But thank you. It was late Friday night...
