Dubai doesn't let foreigners run ITS port.

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 ...

Which port are we talking about? I have heard it the other way--that the U.S. Navy regular stops there, and the Dubai Port World services our military there.

No matter. American national security should still not rest on an autocratic Arab foundation, whether in the Mideast or in Miami.
