The UAE is our closest Arab ally in the ME, and to snub them gives credence to the hubris argument that allegedly got us into this mess in the first place. Dumping them just because they’re Arabs is the corporate equivalent of the Japanese internment. IMO, this will push moderate Arabs towards the head-chopping kooks who call themselves muslims.
Currently the Brits are running those ports. In case anyone hasn't been paying attention, the UK is being overrun with muslims. There are over one MILLION muslims in London alone. How do you know there aren't islamokazis seeking their 72 virgins in the company that's currently running the show?
We need all the friends we can get. I say let them run the place—while being under a microscope. Remember Reagan? Trust; but verify.
