...evening, dress up for cocktails, provided by the hotel's Base Bar, then have a tasting dinner for two at Topolobampo, one of Obama's favorite Chicago eateries. If you stay the night of the Inauguration, Jan. 20, you'll get tickets to a Bulls home game. If that's not enough Obama, you can end your evening by watching some of the future President's favorite films (like Lawrence of Arabia and Casablanca) in your suite, and take home a gift box of some of his favorite books, including Moby Dick, and music, with CDs of Miles Davis...

And even in "combined" patrols, like one Tuesday to search houses for a U.S. soldier's lost weapon, the relationship remains unbalanced at best: a handful of Iraqi police acted as little more than chaperones for a U.S.-led search...
...needn't worry about resynchronizing the clocks on your electronic devices; they'll adjust themselves.

Nor is there anyone considered powerful enough to united Somalia's ever-divided clans...
...attempt to create a tough-guy image, he ordered an air and artillery blitz against Hizballah in Lebanon, an operation dubbed Grapes of Wrath. However, Grapes of Wrath turned into a political disaster for Peres when a week into the assault Israeli artillery gunners shelled a UNIFIL base in south Lebanon killing over 100 Lebanese civilians sheltering there. The operation fizzled out a week later in a U.S.-brokered cease-fire that gave further cover to Hizballah's war against Israeli troops occupying south Lebanon. Pilloried for the failure of the operation, Peres lost to Netanyahu in the election...
