...that the country will soon lose its traditions. "This vote is against the will of the Kuwaiti people. It aims at changing the identity of the society," said Waleed al-Tabtabai, a parliamentarian strongly opposed to the law. Al-Sabah has indicated that he will appoint women to his cabinet, and Kuwaiti activists are pressing for more reforms to ensure women get a fair deal in parliamentary elections scheduled for 2007. Campaigners fear that conservatives in the parliament could still push through legislation to force women running for office to wear the veil. Still, they acknowledge they...

That's a big responsibility, and a big test for any company--it's always tempting to use that kind of power to squeeze out the competition. If Xbox 360 were to take over your media cabinet, would it play DVDs with Sony Pictures movies on them? Of course. But would it play songs from a Sony-owned online music store?
