Life in the 90's

Throughout the 1990's there was a lot of good and bad times. Starting with the

good things, I will begin my paper with 5 of the up-most important events in this period

of time and then conclude with 4 of the down sides. Early in the 90's was Desert Storm,

which was a huge success.

The 1991 bombing of Baghdad was a demonstration of smart, powerful weapons, planning ahead and military superiority. Having control in the air was a major goal of those who had planned out the attack. Starting attacks on the capital was the major idea

and political goal of destabilizing Saddam Hussein's regime (basically the main purpose

here was to have Iraq's leader murdered). About 244 laser-guided bombs and 88 cruise

missiles were delivered against Baghdad targets in 43 days of war. That's most of the

powerful weapons used in Desert Storm. Overall, around 250,000 individual bombs and

missiles were dropped or fired in the 42 days. There were only 12 days and 12 nights

when there were no strikes against Baghdad. There were only 14 nights when more than

two targets were attacked within the city. For a lot of reasons, including growing

political constraints on capital missions, fewer Baghdad targets were bombed as the war

progressed. The campaign's end contrasted right after the opening night display. I think

that Desert Storm could thank the war planners for the high achievements because they

way they attacked Baghdad was almost like a sneak attack, and hey weren't prepared,

Overall, they were caught off guard. Next I will move onto wireless communication.

Now a new "fad" in the 90's is things such as cellular telephones, everyone has

them. Behind the calling process is more than you know before you purchase these

items. When a cellular phone makes a call, it normally transmits it's a certain wave out to

a cell phone site (towers). The number called in a short overwhelming piece of data.
