This is interesting. What is the US to do when Arab democracy unites a population in opposition to US policy? US to shun Palestinian Cabinet Agencies gulfnews.com Gaza City: The United States has informed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that it will shun a future unity government with the militant Hamas group because it will not explicitly recognise Israel, Abbas aides said yesterday. Abbas, who last week signed a landmark power-sharing agreement with Hamas, held talks with US Consul General Jacob Walles in Ramallah before heading to Gaza City to meet Prime Minister Esmail Haniya. The US delegation told the moderate president that Washington would not recognise the incoming unity government, a Palestinian official said, in a blow to the Palestinians' hopes of ending a crippling Western aid freeze. Agreement The power-sharing agreement, signed in Saudi Arabia on February 8, had been billed as a chance to end lethal infighting between Palestinians that had killed 100 people since December but also as a means of ending the 11-month-old boycott. "The American administration informed president Abbas it was refusing to work with the new Palestinian government because it does not fulfil clearly the conditions imposed by the quartet," the Palestinian official said. The official was referring to demands set by the main players in the Middle East peace process - the European Union, Russia, the United Nations and the United States - for any new administration to renounce violence and recognise Israel and past peace deals. The Palestinian official said the leadership's priority would be to "consolidate the internal situation independently of demands of such and such party".

"Office rents in Dubai will soar up to 40% " Dubai can learn from us here. If it's going up, just take it out of the "basket" of things you use to calculate inflation!

Dubai: The feared slump in Dubai's residential property market is unlikely to occur while office rents will skyrocket by up to 40 per cent over the next two years, according to a real estate advisory and marketing company. In the residential market, the talk of the city continues to be an anticipated price correction, triggered by a massive supply of new units. Overhang? What overhang? See through buildings? Put up blinds. Just what the world needs......another boom/bust city. However, if one plays it just right, one can make a ton of money.
