Americans would not be prudent to make a fuss about something they know nothing about, but that never stopped many.
The Brits have been handling the container traffic at these ports (and that's all this is about. It's not "running the ports", "port security", or any of the other buzz phrases that scare you) for years.
A little education wouldn't hurt you. It might even make you a little less anxious. Try it.

And it stinks. This is an opportunity to change things.

This is a gut issue, donchaknow?
What you need are some facts.
DP World to invest in port security
DUBAI — DP World, currently in a huge buying spree, is planning to invest in security issues at the ports and terminals it owns and manages around the world, according to a senior company official.
Mahmood Amin, head of security department at DP World, said yesterday that the company was planning to invest in security issues at its ports and terminals in the future, adding that DP World is investing “millions of dirhams” in security every year.
He said while Dubai ports are secure and have not witnessed any cases related to terrorism or any other crimes, the new additions to the DP World’s portfolio will require more cash injections.
I have no problem with the Brits. They haven't attacked us in the past 2 centurys. Nor have they threatened us.
On the other hand, the UAR have been complicant in terrorist activitys. They finance terrorism with their trillion dollar oil profit windfall.
Al Queda and it's counterparts know how to bring down America. It is not with military conquest. It is with financial conquest. The two attacks on the WTC, the financial center of American trade with the world, should be proof enough. Allowing them to buy up our assets is selling out to the enemy. If allowed, all they have to do is pull the plug on America and we are screwed. Our financial resources are what is standing between security and conquest.
My education us well up to par, however your comment insults me.
Don't tell me I know nothing. That insinuation is only for good sheeple who believe everything the government and people like you say.
