"It makes no sense to open a new dealership in Dubuque, Iowa, anymore when they could put it in Santiago, Chile, where they can do 10 times the volume."

"I just think there aren't 96 good basketball teams," he says. "And so what we're essentially saying is that we're going to allow 32 more teams who we think are just...

But Washington has little power to compel such a freeze, and demanding one provides the Palestinians with an excuse not to engage in direct talks with Israel.
