I don't know why you can't omplement a feedback mechanism so that you honor people's request for low-bandwidth pages (I'm not trying to read a transcript of a show I was told about in breathtaking 1080i, just gimme the copy you gave me or my TiVO will be telling you what to do from now on.) It's always nice to have a world representative who does not try to be on the global terror list. Though, I also appreciate that (besides -not telling- the actual strategy for one's currency, if it is to have any float) most companies' and nations' job is to persist to a side, exceeding the envelope of fiduciary inevitability as well. These are the bits that one hopes to see Galiani engaged with as well....
I was watching your interview with Saud et Faisel, Prime Minister (I think) of Saudi Arabia. It is very tiresome, and disingeuous of him (as it was for Abajenehad last night) to talk of the plight of the "poor" Palestinians, when neither country has lifted one finger to help them in the past 60 years. In fact, within two or three days of Israel being established as a country, all of the countries in the Middle East declared war on them. Israel won, and the Palestinians became refugees. and none of the Middle Eastern Countries took them in or helped in any way. They were used as an excuse to keep the unrest in that region fomented. I agree they are in a terrible state, but they are not helped by wringing hands. Nor are they helped by you not asking what the plan of the Arab states is for changing things. The fact that they are in an awful state is many, many faceted. How do the Arab states plan to make it different, for example, through investment; and when are you going to ask them for their plan.
