Do you remember the start of the Iraq War?

Yeah, a bit faintly though.  I recall watching as the "shock and awe" campaign got underway.  The conflict that I remember most, though, was the 90s Iraq War.  It seemed like there were reports on the war every hour or so....and that's where CNN really made their bones.

Not to completely hijack this thread, but I remember many big historical moments from the 90s. 

The first was the Waco thing....guy named David Koresh was a leader of a large cult, and believed he was God.  I don't remember exactly why the ATF was called in, but that compound he was in went up almost literally "like the 4th of July". 

The other one that I remember very clearly (pre-9/11) was the Columbine Massacre.  I recall watching news coverage of that event in my high school's TV Production class....it was unbelievable at the time.  What historical events do you guys remember?
