Anniversary

I'm incensed that I can't find a single word in any newspaper about today being the 25 year anniversary of an unambiguous but unrecognized declaration of war against America. The closest thing I could find was this article from last week's Washington Times.

Please leave a note in the comment section if you knew what I was talking about before clicking on the article link. The fact that we've forgotten about this is a disgrace and Americans are dead because of it.


UPDATE: I want to give everyone credit here who posted on this story before I did (before I said it had been ignored); the first is Cassie from Scribblings, who notes that:

I remember watching the news on television and feeling horrified. This stuff didn’t happen to us. It wasn’t the first acts of terrorism I’d heard of -- it was the first time I can remember that we were attacked.

Amen.

If you posted on this and it's been neglected, let me know in my comment sections and I'll update with a link. This is not my story -- this is our story and we should give it a life of its own and make it a part of our collective discourse.


UPDATE II: What to do? I posted this brief story and told my good friend Rusty about it. He then wrote a more detailed post on the same subject and got trackbacks and links giving him credit. At my core I just want the story to get out, but at the same time these are big sites that I'd like to get links from. So here they are:

The Politburo Diktat
Ace of Spades
The Llama Butchers
Dean's World
Greek Empire
Grupo Utopia
Captain's Quarters
MY VRWC
The Sparse Matrix
Diggers Realm
