Point being? It's okay to let more foreign governments operate our ports because somebody in the past had the bad judgment to let that kind of thing happen?

Point being we don't own any international shipping lines and if we don't give them access we can't ship. Most don't know the difference between port terminals and seaports. In the NY port of entry (seaport) there are ~102 terminal ports. The two that Dubai are buying are about 2000 ft of docking access. Its the same as a International Land-port or International Airport. If you don't buy or lease a terminal you can't land. American, United, British, France and Dubai Airlines when landing at a Airport have to go to different terminals they have leased or purchased or they can't land at that airport. When leaving the passengers or cargo have to go through airport security before entering any terminal. When arriving the passengers and cargo have to go thorough customs when leaving the terminal. Its the same with port terminals in seaport or land-ports. The security is handled by the sea or air port not by any port terminals.

Security concerns aside, this deal is still evil. Any foreign investment in this country intended to help spead Islamic Law overseas needs to be stopped.
