Clash Of Cultures

On this day in history in one culture:


1985
Islamic Jihad issued a statement saying it had killed American hostage William Buckley.


1993
Dozens of cheering, dancing Somalis dragged the body of an American soldier through the streets of Mogadishu.


2002
Richard Reid pleaded guilty in a federal court in Boston to trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes.


2003
A Palestinian woman blew herself up inside a restaurant in Haifa, Israel, killing 21 bystanders.

This day in history in another culture:

1997
Hundreds of thousands of men attended a Promise Keepers rally on the Mall in Washington, D.C., in one of the largest religious gatherings in U.S. history.

Enough said.
