Well, retail is down everywhere. A lot of companies in a lot of industries are closing stores, downsizing, etc. I think maybe part of the reason people fixate on Wal-Mart is because the company is seen as so big and ubiquitous that we seem to think that they should be immune from this kind of behavior. If Wal-Mart seems vulnerable, then everyone is vulnerable.
