We went over the Asian map agian today. We did great on the sections we've already done. except Australia... that was not great. Brie just HAD to say Macow first. She is probably going to do it tomorrow too.Now, back to you extremely late blog topics!-the security coucil part of the UN declares war-economic santions- a country stops trading or buying stuff from a country to make them comply with what you want them to stop doing. Its a more peacefull way to stop a power hungry country.-Weapons of mass distruction would be nuclear/atomic and biological bombs "WMD"Persian Gulf War-Coalition victory.to get sudam out of Kuwait. The UN went in afterwards to check Iraq's weapon. We kept sending troops there to probably to help keep peace. Taliban and the terrorist ated us because they hate any influence by other country. There were a total of 20-35,000 casualties. 3,600 were Iraqi citizens. It really wasn't a big war. It was short, sweet, and succsesfull. Major point to remember is that Iraq had to have weapon inspectors and had flying bans. They couldn't fly in a certain area, definately over the Kurds.Why we went to War with IraqThere were a lot of hard feelings. We really wanted to take Suddan out of power and we were worried that they were violating the Poliferation Treaty. Treaty a lot of countries signed that states that they cannot have WMB. European countries didn't want to fight. It wasn't just about oil, or really even about finishing what daddy started. He just wanted to liberate the Iraqi people. A noble cause but he was misunderstood by a lot of countries, ours is included.Suddan played cat-mouse games. The weapon inspectors were being kicked out of his country. We had credible intel that he had WMD. but he didn't have them. Just for intimadation.
