Actually, I asked you three questions:
1) How has the objection been irrational, other than the folks on the left who wouldn't profile now are all for it in the case of port operations?
2) Dubai doesn't let foreigners run ITS port. Does that offend you?
3) if the UAE wanted to run Pentagon security contracts, would it be appropriate for us to object to a nearly-done-deal there, or would you worry about being offensive first?
I think people leading the objection from the right started pretty rationally, and then got insulted quickly at the slams from the Bush party line folks. Hard to imagine this thread you link to is the first--and we both know it's not.
As to your question, "when have I [soul seeker] objected to folks raising their voice against any deal at any time? I didn't imply that you had, and I'm not sure what difference that would make.
Actually, I believe we do lease a vital port used for our military over there. If we revoke their contract based only on religion, they might choose to pull that very strategic military port from us ...
