1. No, but I sure remember it
it was a wild and crazy time. I don't know why folks weren't trampled.

3. No, but I've got a funny story about it

A co-worker of mine who is Iranian likes to recall that day. He had lived in the US for about ten years and was watching the news with his Western wife when a clip of the mourners hitting themselves on the head came up. Watching the spectacle he mumbled to himself: "crazy Arabs...". His wife caught the remark and laughed, saying: "well I guess it's official, you're an American now".

4. Iranians aren't Arabic - they're Persian, so the remark would
have been valid even if he had not spent years in the States. :)

His assimilation had extended even to mis-characterizing his own people.

6. No, but I could probably come up with something on
Reagan's funeral.

Pretty much the same thing.
