From 1987 to the present? That's a lot of stuff, but I'm game--

1. 1987, Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty between the United States and the Soviet Union.

2. 1989, Overthrow of Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega.

3. 1990, passage of fiscal 1991 budget, containing tax reforms which shortened the recession of 1990-91 and led to the extended economic recovery of 1993-99 for which the Dem-bulbs unjustifiably claim credit.

4. The Gulf War, 1991-2003.

5. 1993, World Trade Center bombing.

6. The combined pseudo-wars of the 1990s (Somalia, Yugoslavia, etc.), which, although the outcomes had zero effect on the U.S., unnecessarily weakened military readiness and proved what can happen when U.S. interests are subordinated to U.N. whims.

7. 1994, Haiti intervention, leading to the promise of democracy on the island, which was ultimately unfulfilled; another example of the costs of Clintonian meddling.

8. The sustained weakening of U.S. intelligence-gathering capabilities by the Clinton Administration, a continuation of similar liberal degradations which ultimately led to the September 11, 200,1 terrorist attack.

9. 1995, Bombing of Murrah Building in 1995; what should be a reminder that the next terrorist attack might not come from a foreign source, if the liberal media would take off its blinders.

10. 2003-2006, Arrest, trial, and execution of Saddam Hussein.

So you mean besides Reagan becoming President and the Iran hostage crisis coming to a close, "Star Wars" missile defense system, the end of the cold war, supporting the Contras in Nicaragua, the Gulf War, our operation in Somalia leading to Blackhawk Down, Bill Clinton, the internet, 9-11, President Bush, Operation Iraqi Freedom, the war on terror, Hurricane Katrina?

1. Microsoft
2. Apple
3. Internet
4. Google
5. Ebay
6. Blogs
7. Social networking
8. WAP
9. Edge
10. 3G

All of the above have impacted the way we do business. They might be silly for some people, but right now I'm posting out of starbucks with my blackjack using 3G technology, while I'm running internet explorer on my mac, uploading the latest news from around the world to try to figure out how the stock market will perform tomorrow. Try to do that in 1986...

How about the terrorists attacks of 9/11 or the invasion of Iraq or the liberation of Kuwait. The invasion of Afghanistan That's four things. Also, the outsourcing of labor to other countries with NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement). Hope that helps.
