On August 20, 1998, President Clinton ordered the bombing of a factory in Khartoum, Sudan. The factory, the United States alleged, was making chemical weapons. Even more evil: it was linked to Osama bin Laden. Of course, then the story unravelled. The factory was making aspirin, not weapons. And the US government quickly abandoned their claims that this dangerous aspirin-making was economically connected to Osama bin Laden. America, however, was undeterred. Coincidentally, the bombs fell just as Monica Lewinsky came before Ken Starr’s grand jury. The Sudanese government reported that a month after the attack they received a message from the US promising more attacks in the future. It hasn’t happened yet, but when it does, let’s hope the bombs fall on a hospital producing WMD or a residential neighborhood linked to al Qaeda. Sudan tried to get the UN to probe
the bombing, but, of course, that didn’t really pan out.
