While i'm not too keen on this idea either, I will say that UAE is far different than other middle eastern countires

I agree. You don't hear about Dubai residents rioting and doing any terror attacks.

One of the best ways to handle the Islamic "bloc" is to play one country against the other. Dubai is one of the allies. Qatar is another. And Kuwait is one more.

"Dubai is one of the allies."

Yes, and Russia was one of our allies in WWII!!! Then, we discovered that they were really our enemy.

Dubai is one of the allies. Qatar is another. And Kuwait is one more.

So there are Islamic nations we can trust our nation's security to?
