Kosovo 1999. Find out how much Clinton really screwed up and it cost civilian lives.

You'll probably have a hard time finding statistics and information in the recent Gulf War. Democracy takes time...besides...lots of things are still under wraps.

I'd do Kosovo or the War on Drugs.

problem with that is that this is about strategy, and any strategy involving nuclear weapons is dull as fvck, cos it comes down to counting nukes, types of nukes etc... If it weren't for that I would consider it.

Wow those are a lot better topics to choose from. I'd probably end up doing War on Terror followed by the Libya, North Korea one.

There is so much infomation on the war and terror. I mean you could cover anything from G Bay to the Anthrax attacks in America and Operation Anaconda.

Whatever you choose to do then any chance you could wack your essay up on here, sounds like it would be an interesting read.
