"We can argue I guess that it's not good to have a UAE-based company taking over port operations from this British company"
Being in favor of this as you apparently are, perhaps you'd like to argue why it's GOOD to have a UAE-based company taking over port operations?

I have no passion one way or another on it. I just don't think it's the earth-ending event some of you hysterics are making it out to be. We have no reason to think DWI is a security threat. I know, I know, all Arabs are bad and that's what's driving this. But frankly I can't lose any sleep over a typical international business acquisition of one company by another. That's all this is. It's not about the UAE BUYING our ports as the far right and far left are lying about.
So I'm neither for nor against this. It has nothing about it to get empassioned about. If the story were as it is being made out that that a UAE company was buying our ports, then yes I'd be against it. But that's not what's going on. It's just an operations company. And the ports in question can opt to use another operations company if they choose. Why are you flipping out over this?
well the merger does not have to be 'good' in order to go through, but it does need to be deemed 'bad' to be stopped. I have seen this sort of stuff over the chinese-ports in panama and at the end of the day it is the same workforce doing the same things.
Honestly I think this is a non-issue, and that is why the democrats are on it. Why not talk about the mexican border if we are concerned about things being brought in?
