We now have and had for many years, the Sauds doing exactly what DWP will do via its P&O acquisition...
If the P&O-DWP deal should be stopped...because we cant have Arabs 'running' ports...can we then logically conclude that we should terminate all port lease agreements with any company that is tied to Arabs?...are these folks saying that we should not only deny the P&O-DWP lease transfers...but also kick out the Sauds who run stevedore work across a spectrum of 30 ports from Newark to Texas?...
Do 'these' people even stop and think for a moment how disastrous that would be to our national security? Do they even think for a moment what the ramifications would be in regard to our relations with moderate Arabs would be?
Most people weren't aware of this until now. I think having the ports operated by state-owned foreign entities is ridiculous. The fact that so many people see this as normal and good is just a sad result of globalism. Yes, I do think ports should be brought back under our own control. No, I do not think the plug should be pulled immediately and overnight, leaving all of our ports in disarray, obviously. And if our good relations with other countries are dependent on those countries running our ports, then something is seriously wrong with those relationships.
