Should I mention that I dispute the inclusion of a State Recall Election being on here? Sherurcij ^{(Speaker for the Dead)} 03:13, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't like it that much either. Any replacements ? -- PFHLai 03:03, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

1951 - David Ben-Gurion forms first Israeli government.

1959 - Far side of the Moon seen for first time, compliments of U.S.S.R.'s Luna 3.

1985 - The "Achille Lauro" is hijacked by Palestinian terrorists.

2001 - The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan starts with an air assault and covert operations on the ground.

Thanks for the suggestions, Sherurcij. For 2007, I've just posted the 1959 item about Luna 3 and the far side of the Moon. The 2001 war in Afghanistan seems somewhat current, and, if choices are available, I'd suggest not having so many military-related items. (In retrospect, i should have used it for the 5th Anniversary. Too late now.) Achille Lauro is already there. And, I'd pass on the 1951 item because the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel is already featured on May 14th. Thanks, again, for the suggestions. -- PFHLai 15:26, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
