You mean the way some people are quick to forget that DP World and Dubai are critical elements in the logistics support for our troops fighting the war? Or how we trust them to provide services and support for the largest contingent of U.S. Navy vessels outside the U.S...including our European so-called friends?

What you wrote so clearly should be obvious to every politician and rational thinker. What you wrote is the very reason that CFIUS participants did not see red flags when asked to vet the sale of the port operations to DPW.

They already are looking after our security interests in a major way! I really am despairing at the shortsighted reactions to having this company involved in some American ports.

I am convinced that the major objections started with the waterfront unions, who do not want an employer noted for modernization and efficiency.

It did start from the labor unions, spread to slick chucky schumer and the Bush is all evil crowd were quick to adopt it as their own cause of the week.

No one ever said monarchies aren't efficient. They get to do all sorts of fun things. Almost...anything they want!

An ally is someone who share your political objectives. A mercenary is someone who is paid to fight for you. It sounds like you are suggesting that the UAE are our mercenaries; and, I do not believe in entrusting mercenaries with our national interests. IIRC that was how Rome fell.
