#1 Israel acquired the Sinai Peninsula during the 6-Day War in 1967. In 1979, Israel transferred the Sinai to Egypt due to Jimmah's meddling. Hmmmm, maybe this is a good time to move the Sinai border to the pre-1979 border (cough, cough).

#2 That was Jimmy, who validated a questionable election of Chavez to avoid a civil war in Venezuela and inserted himself in Korea in the 90s to forestall military action to prevent the Norks from getting a bomb.
