If a nuke comes through one of our ports someday it won't likely be because of the nefarious UAE paperpushers in the operations office but rather because some Coast Guardsman skipped a briefing or some customs agent took an extra 10 minute break from inspecting every 50th crate on the dock!
So we've always had traitors. But most people don't betray, they follow society's expectations. The people of the UAE have to betray their culture not to kill us. Given that most people are conformist, the sleeper at DPWorld will be a small d democrat who doesn't think "Death to America" is a cool street corner chant. Ahhhh... I think this deal is very, very prudent. It's only slightly less security conscious than having Lara Flynn Boyle guard a Twinkie.
Yeah, the guys in Dubai who greenlighted AQ Khan's nuke shipments through THEIR part are going to be B1 Bob Dornan America Firsters if we just give them the keys to the ports of 6 major American cities. What anti-terror badasses the arhitects of this deal are!!!
