Just one last comment: I think the country is starting to suffer from information overload and major distortions of information because of too many uninformed and unprofessional news sources. Everybody thinks they're qualified to write about geopolitical events, politics, and economics, and not everybody is qualified. There's so much distorted, inaccurate information being tossed out by bloggers, radio shows, and especially left-wing activists. People write stuff in their blogs and publish it immediately on the web before they've even studied the issues. For example, Michelle Malkin is a great lady and very corageous but I don't think she understands this UAE port deal in detail and she's publishing commentary based largely on emtion without understanding that acquisition.
