This Day in the Dark Ages
On this day in 846 AD, Saracens plunder the Basilica of St. Peters in Rome. So if the Muslims are still angry about the Cursades taking and losing Jerusalem, they started it. Critics of the then current Pope, Sergius II, complain that he had advance warning of the raid and failed to take action so to inflame the Christians with hatred of the Muslims. That sounds vaguely familiar. They do so in a manuscript titled Laxus Permutandus.

That DOES sound familiar...
Pearl Harbor
Gulf of Tonkin
9/11
If only the Israelis had done the same in 1967, think how different things might be.
