From another thread by another poster, but it could of just as easily been me:


A few facts about the UAE.
UAE - DICTATORSHIP, ARAB LEAGUE MEMBER

Imprisonment and Flogging for Marriage Across Faiths

No Democratically Elected Institutions or Political Parties

Judiciaries Decisions Subject to Review by Political Leadership

Law Specifically Prohibits Criticism of Government, Ruling Families and Friendly Governments Under Penalty of Imprisonment

Refuses to allow entry to anyone with an Israeli passport, or even a stamp signifying they were going to Israel.

Refuses diplomatic ties with Israel, and refuses to recognize Israel as a legitimate State.

Refers to even say the word "Israel" in their media, and refers to them as the "Zionist entity".

These are the wonderful people that President Bush wants to run our eastern ports. He just said he refuses to do business with Hamas because of their strong stand against recognizing Israel, but the UAE's hatred for Israel and their refusal to recognize their statehood is just hunky dory.
