Today in CWI we came into the room with the song New York New York, by Frank Sinatra (sp) playing over Mr. Bruns's speakers. We then got the idea of having Mr. Bruns playing music every day in between classes. Then we got the idea of creating a t-shirt saying Cdub im so bloggin about this. (: Anyways, after our descussion about the t-shirts we went over the Asia map once again.Next was the continuation of our descussion of Iraq. First topic for today was Why we went to war in Iraq in 1990. It was mainly because of oil and Iraqs invasion of Kuwait. Kuwait asked us to help them when Iraq invaded them and we did. Next topic was the results of the Persian Gulf War. The first stage of this war was called Operation desert field. Restrictions put on aggressive countries restricting imports and exports are called Economic Senctions. We currently have economic senctions in Cuba, we used to have them in Afghanistan. Senctions were put on iraq and then we sent troops over to Saudi Arabia. Our goal was for having our forces their to cause them to draw back. This plan failed so we began to attack with missels. We lost 148 people in the war.
