Let me summarize for you....you think we should nuke the UAE.
I'm going to post this here and then I am going to repeat it on another port related thread. And, note to the mods, then I'm going to stop.
I doubt the outcry over this would have been so intense had it come before the cartoon jihad. I have found, and I think others have found, the willful incitement to murderous violence over a bunch of stupid cartoons, world wide, very disturbing.
We cannot deny that the "Muslim World" sees itself as one thing, that spans borders, languages, races, etc., much as the Catholic Church does, more as the Catholic Church used to, centuries ago. There has been no full throated denunciation of this violence, there has been what one now expects to get from the Muslim world, the good old "yes, but". Now, Dubai may be "better" than all this, or they may just be determined to "act as if" they are better, because one must not forget the Muslim dictate that it is permissible to lie to an infidel when needed.
This entire USA port situation is an opportunity then, for the elites, and the putative enlightened, of the Muslim world to "own" and "confront" our problems with their culture. Their culture of violence that has killed so many people, and continues to kill so many people around the world. Perhaps this is an opportunity for them to denounce it. Or at least to realize that this is why we hate them.
