...some ways, the name brands--not only the Microsofts and Nokias but also the Kodaks and Gaps--are making a devil's bargain. If some entrepreneur has a revolutionary idea for a videophone or an instant tooth flosser, all he has to do is get Wal-Mart to agree to sell it and then get Sanmina to design and build...

If you want Arafat to control the situation, you have to give him something political - for example, lifting the closure, giving freedom of movement, helping him with the unemployment in the West Bank and Gaza. They are facing huge economic problems - I can say after what I have seen in Gaza is that there is starvation there...
