There IS a difference between protecting, and being PROTECTIONIST....

This whole thing is a teapot tempest, in my opinion.
Saudis, Chinese, Taiwanese, Canadians, Kuwaitis, Malays, Germans, Brits, South Africans, Brazillians, Greeks and others have run port operations here for DECADES, as we run port ops overseas.....

AND, This nation is an ALLY, and arguably the most WESTERN of Middle-east Muslim countruies!! This is a knee-jerk reaction, and the more FACTS I learn, the more I can't see where the outrage is from, other than an attempt to hurt Bush......
