If I were the UAE, I would take my business to Europe. I hope they don't, but to pretend that what our congress just did was right, is wrongheaded in the extreme.

We only pay lip service to those arab governemnts that help in the WOT. We're back to playing checkers instead of chess.

My view is that some entity manipulated both the U.S. media and the UAE to see if they could do it. The "hate Bush" crowd were pimped for this. This is not a conspiracy theory, just a logical progression. Open for alterations. I want more info.

Yes indeed.

And if we were still playing chess, here's hoping we never go back to a beginning with the UAE where we would apply The Philidor Defense.
