Beirut

Smoke and dust rise from the bombed Marine Barracks at the Beirut International Airport, October 23, 1983.  The mushroom cloud probably still makes Ahmadinejad all funny in his pants and fires his dreams.

25 years ago today. One of the early losses in this long war. I am preparing for the Feith event tonight. The significance of discussing where we are today on such an anniversary had not escaped me, but I’ll let the Armorer do the honors, with links and a listing of the names of the dead.
