in November of 1999 Randice-Lisa "Randi" Altschul was issued a series of patents for the world's first disposable cell phone. Trademarked the Phone-Card-Phone®, the device is the thickness of three credit cards and made from recycled paper products. This is a real cell phone (outgoing messages only) with 60 minutes of calling time and a hands free attachment. You can add more minutes or throw the device away after your calling time is used up. However, with the planned additional magnetic strip the cell phone would double as a credit card, swipeable for purchases with free airtime credits as a bonus. The retail price of the invention should average twenty dollars, with a two or three dollar rebate for returning the phone instead of trashing it.

Primarily because of the 1979 Russian Invasion when covert operations began to supply resistance groups with weapons and funding.

Why did the US become involved with Afghanistan?

The Taliban government in Afghanistan supported global terrorism. Specifically, the Taliban provided a safe haven for Al Qaeda and refused to turn over Osama bin Laden after the 9/11 attacks. However, going back to the early 1980's, the US was involved with arming and financing the Mujaheddin, an Islamist guerrilla force that fought against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. The US involvement was based on the "enemy of my enemy" philosophy of the Cold War.

Why is the US still involved in both Iraq and Afghanistan?

Attack on soil on September 11,2001. The reason the US went to war in Afghanistan was because it was established globally that bin laden was behind the attack on the US 9/11 and that he was being harbored in Afghanistan by the Taliban. After many failed attempts to negotiate a turn over of bin laden to the US, the US finally launched formal attack on Afghanistan and more precisely the Taliban.

Should Afghanistan have become involved in World War 2?

No, Afghanistan had no need to become involved in WWII as there was no true connection to the problem. It wasn't called in as an ally because it wasn't truly close to any of the nations involved in WWII. Also it was a fairly new country at about 20 years old and it most likely couldn't sustain the economic depressions and destructions that come with war.


What wars are Australian soldiers involved in now?
