The UAE, Saudia, and Pakistan were the only countries to recognize the Taliban.....interesting to see the pro-muslim elements here ignore this very uncomfortable fact.

Further, Dubai is supporting Hamas. I'm not anti-Islam, in general. I'm anti-terrorist. That said, I don't trust Islamic governments at all.

I do not want any company that is wholly-owned by an Islamic government to have anything to do with our ports.

But we joined with Pakistan after 9/11, and they helped us destroy the Taliban.

The USSR was our sworn enemy, and now they are a moderate ally. Other enemies became allies, and allies became enemies.

9/11 changed things. The UAE is now our partner in the war on terror.
