Timothy McVeigh was from the United States. I guess I shouldn't do business with any American companies, either.
Since this company is in effect the UAE, what happens if the government gets toppled, and pro Osama forces are now in charge?
The other thing that really pisses me off is Dan Bartlett on tv excusing UAE for being one of the two governments recognizing the Taliban as the government in Afghanistan, and UAE still refusing to recognize Israel's right to exist.
Yes, we want these folks to be running our ports. Whatever. This issue is non-partisan. Most Americans hate this. Period. You will have 400+ members of the house who cry b.s. on this deal.
What a brilliant argument. Now we know that no country is more likely than any other country to raise terrorists. I feel so much better now!!!
Wow, that was like so deep. Cool man...
Just so we understand what we're talking about here, some terrorism does take place in the U.S. There's no denying it. For the most part I think you might agree that dissent in this nation is handled by protest and voting.
Please take a look at the Middle-East and see if you can tell any difference between the mindset over there, and the mindset here.
Do we have people here who would be perfectly happy to strap a nuke to themselves and take a strole through Manhattan? Generally speaking no. Can you say the same for hundreds if not thousands of people who've blown themselves to bits in Iraq the last few years?
17 of the 09/11 terrorists came from Saudi Arabia. The facts are that people in Saudi Arabia are more likely to dispise us than like us. That's the reality of it.
You have to ignore a whole hell of a lot to make a statement like you did, regarding McVeigh and our populace not being any different than the citizens of even some of the most moderate nations in the Middle-East.
The UAE rep refused to play a simple chess game with an Israeli eight years ago forfeiting a championship game.
