And we are supposted to feel sorry for Mr. al Fayeed? It's no
different than many "store attractions" here in the US. I have been
in the Nike store in Chicago a number of times where foreigners are
touring and not buying. Same for Bloomie's and Marshall Fields.
Hell, I'm from there and sometimes I only go to MF for a look-see and
Frango mints. Putting up with Lookie-Lou's is part of doing business.
