You would rather that each and every commercial transaction be submitted to the Department of Homeland Security for approval?

Are you seriously so cowed by the threat of terrorism that you would turn this once-free country into a clone of our former adversaries in Eastern Europe?

Maybe you'd like a little censorship to go along with the economic straightjacket you're sewing? Like it was in the good old days of World War I, World War II and -- dare I mention it so soon after the birthday of St. Abraham? -- the Civil War?

And make sure dissidents are confined until the war is over.

Yeah, that's the ticket. That ought to bring terrorism to our shores faster than even Bin Laden could hope for.

We're not talking about Pizza Hut are we? These are our ports and yes when it comes to sensitive installations there must be government oversight for obvious national security reasons. If that wasn't the case with this deal then why did it have to be pre-approved by CFIUS?

The rest of your post is hysterical ranting that doesn't warrant a response.
