I do know. So changing the subject, won't make it go away. Everyone is well aware that Osama/AlQaeda has targeted every Islamic nationstate in the ME, at one time or another. More importantly, the UAE remains a sponsor and supporter of terrorism themselves. The dichotomy is striking. The UAE openly funds Hamas and still has an active policy for the destruction of Israel. Here in the US, the UAE/Dubai gives funds to CAIR, Council on American-Islamic Relations. Many Americans consider CAIR a frontgroup for "jihadiism" in the US. On top of all that, the UAE/Dubai have an extremely poor human rights record. In the UAE there is no freedom of speech and no political dissent allowed. Women have no rights and child slave trade is tolerated. The UAE may offer the US military bases from which to operate our Navy and Air Force, but that doesn't mean the Feds have any right to grant sweetheart deals that allow the UAE/Dubai/DPW to manage commercial terminal operations at US ports of entry. Period.
