Ascolta il breve dialogo tra Cristina e Vincenzo e rispondi alle seguenti domande.
Che problema diventare vegetariani!
Cristina: Ho deciso di diventare vegetariana.
Vincenzo: Buon’idea! Ma attenta, è molto rischioso! Potresti diventare anemica e avere bisogno di integratori e poi sarà difficile farlo capire ai nostri amici. Per loro rinunciare a salumi e carne è quasi impossibile.
Cristina: Sei proprio come mia madre! Mi ha detto che ci ha messo anni per farmi mangiare un po’ di tutto e adesso considera la mia scelta come un tradimento delle tradizioni italiane.
Vincenzo: Perché non le dici che generalmente i vegetariani sono più attenti alla salute e che evitano anche tutti i cibi con conservanti e additivi?
Cristina: Hai ragione! Infatti gli additivi rendono il cibo meno nutriente e talvolta anche pericoloso.
Vincenzo: Ma continuerai a mangiare almeno il pesce, le uova e i formaggi, no?
Cristina: Veramente il pesce non rientra nella dieta vegetariana! Non so se lo sai, ma anche i pesci sono esseri viventi!
Vincenzo: Va bene, va bene. Sono sicuro al cento per cento che anche a tua madre non dispiacerà quando si accorgerà che non deve più cucinare per te.
Cosa suggerisce Vincenzo a Cristina di dire alla mamma per giustificare la sua scelta?

The Persian Gulf War In August 1990, with Iraqi forces poised near the Saudi Arabian border (please refer to Map 1), the Bush administration dispatched 180,000 troops to protect the Saudi kingdom. The crisis took a dramatic turn in November 1990 when Bush doubled the number of American troops deployed in the Persian Gulf. Iraqi forces in Kuwait had climbed to 430,000 and coalition forces had to increase if Iraq was to be ejected from Kuwait by force. The president went to the United Nations for a resolution permitting the use of force against Iraq if it did not with- draw by January 15, 1991. After a heated debate, Congress also gave the president authority to wage war. The 545,000-strong Iraqi army, the world’s fourth largest, was equipped with antiship Exocet missiles, top-of-the-line Soviet T-72 tanks, and long-range artillery capable of firing nerve gas. Hussein tried to bring Israel into the war by launching Scud missiles at Israeli cities, a strategy thwarted when the United States sent Patriot antimissile missiles to Israel. A month of bombing gave the coalition forces air supremacy and destroyed thousands of Iraqi tanks and artillery pieces, supply routes and communications lines, and command-and-control bunkers, and limited Iraq’s ability to produce nuclear, chemical, and biological weapons. Iraqi troop morale suffered so badly during the bombing that an estimated 30 percent of Baghdad’s forces deserted before the ground campaign even started. The allied ground campaign relied on deception, mobility, and overwhelming air superiority to defeat a larger Iraqi army. The allied strategy was to mislead the Iraqis into believing that the allied attack would occur along the Kuwaiti coastline and Kuwait’s border with Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile, General H. Norman Schwarzkopf, U. S. commander of the coalition forces, shifted more than 300,000 U.S., British, and French troops into western Saudi Arabia, allowing them to strike deeply in Iraq and trap Iraqi forces deep in southern Iraq and Kuwait. Only 100 hours after the ground war started, the war ended. _1. The Persian Gulf crisis began in the winter of 1991. _2.

Norman Schwarzkopf took his orders from British and French military leaders.
