...Omar ever returns, he might find things have changed a bit around the house. First of all, about 40 U.S. special forces have moved in. You won't find them testing the Supreme Leader's mattress. They've set up a forest of radio antennas, and they prowl around in desert camouflague on a rooftop beside the spires of Omar's Arabian rococo mosque. The commandos are here to protect the other new tenant of Omar's house: Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan's new prime minister. With wrap-around shades, M-16 rifles, lap-tops, and their MRE's full...

American servicemen are on the prowl for liquor and a good time. The local girls, Okinawans and Japanese, come out too, looking for some fun with the buff, dollar-rich and female-deprived American boys. Tattooed guys in muscle shirts and cargo pants rub against women in midriff-baring Tshirts and tight jeans, and as the crowd spills from bars onto sidewalks, the night shifts into hormonal overdrive...
...prefectural building, where Tanaka has his office, two young women desperately try to get a glimpse of the Governor, who is holed up in budget meetings. With a video camera, autograph boards and calligraphy pens, they prowl the halls for four-and-a-half hours, finally catching up to Tanaka eating lunch in the employee cafeteria. What excites them about Tanaka? "It's his intelligence, his perseverance, his warmth," says Ayako Yamada, a housewife who lives a two-hour train ride away. "He is so passionate...
