We're talking about a Middle Eastern country . .

No, we're talking about a half-dozen container ports in the United States.

We're talking about a business.

We're talking about a change in ownership due to one company having purchased another company.

And, I'm talking about the demagogy of certain politicians in both parties who, along with right-wing radio commentators, would scotch a deal that, in a free society, is strictly between the ports involved and the contractor.

But then who said we still have a free society?

Even a free society has a right to put national security and the safety of its citizens over simple business transactions. You sound like another pure Free Trader and why that philosphy is going to eventually kill us off, and just not economically.
