MS: If even a company from the United Arab Emirates is unacceptable, then basically what we're saying this is a clash of civilizations. And before I'm prepared to … and I'm as gung ho for that as most people. But before I'm prepared to ban Arab companies from doing business in the United States, I think we should ban Saudi propagandists from funding and running medrasas and think tanks in the United States.
This isn't about banning Arab companies from doing business, much as their stooges would like to cry 'racism', 'racism', 'islamophobia'.
It is about one project that entails national security risks and no corresponding gain.
Sure the elites of Dubai have supported us. But then again, the elites of Iran and Saudi Arabia supported us even as the man in the street hated us. Musharaf 'supports' us but do you think the people of Pakistan do ? We can't just base our relations on corrupt elites.
