i think we are keeping an ally and not turning an ally into an enemy.
from the article:
"Of course, they could also drive them across the unguarded border, more proof – four-and-half years after Sept. 11, 2001 – that the Bush administration is irresponsible, suicidal, insane or incompetent. Politically tone deaf doesn't begin to explain such lapses in judgment."
Americans will only begin to understand their hopeless situation when the first nuclear bomb goes off in the first US city, and suicidal arabs begin to use the arms they have smuggled in to murder innocents like they used to do in Israel.
They are enemies, handing over port security won't change that dear.
