#1 If by "technocrats" Abbas means "rocket-builders", well then, everything falls right into place. Given that their crappy rockets kill one person for every hundred launched, I can just imagine the sudden blossoming of a Palestinian economy based on rule by these "technocrats".

While the thought of having businessmen with a vested interest in peaceful economic growth is something nice to dream of, it remains just that; A stinking dream. Palestinians have done fuck all to constrain or reverse the culture of hatred and genocide they have so laboriously cultivated over the past several decades. I'm sure Abbas has come to realize that nothing short of mass lobotomies is going to change that in short order. The Palestinians deserve only one thing; Starvation into complete and total submission or straight out of existence. Out of existence would suit me just fine.

#4 I think by technocrats he means "guys who know how to hide money".
Either that, or he wants Devo to come over and run the government...

#5 France is "managed" by technocrats since 1974 at least; that has worked so well! So, in light of that, I fully approve that proposition, as I believe the paleos deserve it.

#9 Where would they get technocrats from? They would have to import them from Israel.
