"""You just proved yet again that fear wins over facts.

Unless you have some actual facts to back up your claim.

Hypotheticals don't count.""""

I guess you got me. I do fear having my family and loved ones blown up, considering I live near one of these ports. And I don't need to prove anything to you to back that up.

I know all the facts that you know on this issue.

And I still do not trust this deal.

I do not want my government giving any Arab country more access then they already have to our country.

Trying to tell me that nothing is going to happen is just as hypothetical. You make decisions all the time based on hypothetical. You get as many facts as you can an then make a decision based on the hypothetical outcome of it.

Lets see some of the facts:
2 of the hijackers are from this country.
UAE has been known to launder money to terrorist.
UAE doesn't recognize Israel existence.
It isn't a democracy.

With these facts, and I may have missed some others, I can hypothesize that they are terrorist sympathizers. And they wouldn't mind if the USA and Israel didn't exist in their world. Hence the increased likelihood that a port under their control is more likely to be the source or a terrorist attack then lets say an American operated port.

Is that facts enough for you to prove that sometimes a person fear is based on fact.
