"They dont recongnize the facts as to countries such as this that are actually a beacon of hope in the MIddle East."

Beacon of hope? You've got to be joking...

These are the facts.

- The UAE was one of three countries in the world to recognize the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.

- The UAE has been a key transfer point for illegal shipments of nuclear components to Iran, North Korea and Lybia.

- According to the FBI, money was transferred to the 9/11 hijackers through the UAE banking system.

- Two of the 9/11 hijackers were from the UAE (Fayez Banihammad and Marwan al-Shehhi)

- After 9/11, the Treasury Department reported that the UAE was not cooperating in efforts to track down Osama Bin Laden’s bank accounts.

UAE is quite different from lets say the Saudi KIngdom. We should encourage that. The citizens there are not raving Taliban fanatics. There help to us during the Iraq war made up for any past slip ups on that. Second ,I am not going to judge a whole country and a govt because 2 of the highjackers were from there. Thats ludricous. Want to judge a whole country by a few of its people then dont look at the threads here. You will have to lock yourself in your house and never come out since the USA has a ton of crazies.
