Includes:

IX. Using the iPhone to solve disputes between Moqtada al-Sadr and certain Sunni elements within Iraq without causing an escalation of hostilities, or the development of closer ties between Iran and Shiite militias

XX. Using the iPhone to find love, true love, love like you've never dreamed of
