Oh, what kneejerk horsecrap. Krauthammer plainly states:

"Democrats loudly denounce any thought of racial profiling. But when that same Arab, attired in business suit and MBA, and with a good record of running ports in 15 countries, buys P&O, Democrats howl at the very idea of allowing Arabs to run our ports. (Republicans are howling, too, but they don't grandstand on the issue of racial profiling.)"

You patently didn't even bother to read the article, before posting. Try again.

What's the purpose of that link with regard to this article?

A UAE company performs shipping services in Houston; they don't manage any terminals, which they will in other major US ports if/when this deal goes through. There's quite a difference, and Krauthammer is making a reasonable point that when a company/government is that deeply involved in port operations, they will necessarily become privvy to security operations/tactics. He's even suggesting a solution (something Dems never do).

Clouding the issue by comparing apples to oranges doesn't help.
