Who would blame them? But people here who are against the deal are not thinking rationally anymore. They don't listen to rational arguments! Look at Sean Hannity. He does nothing but ask questions then when he gets answers that are reasonable and reassuring he ignores them and just keeps on asking the SAME DAMN QUESTIONS LIKE A BROKEN RECORD!!
And I have yet to hear one person who objects to this deal even begin to consider the serious negative consequences of spitting in the UAE's faces. I have yet to hear any of them offer solutions to the problems that will be raised if the deal does not go through. It's time for THEM to come up with some answers.
I certainly wouldn't blame them.
And I think that's probably what some of the anti-dealers around here want.
It is very simple why most people "so far" are against this deal. For then UAE=Arabs=Terrorists, it is unfortunate but true. Most people think that this company will really important thousands of Arabs from the Middle East to run the ports and hence the terrorists will sneak into the country via this company! This extremely laughable and irrational thinking is due to ignorance for most people. For the democrat politicians it is hypocrisy and they are using this mass hysteria to score political points. For the Republicans in congress and other position of powers it is a knee jerk reaction in an election year. For a small minority it is just blatant racism and bigotry.
My hope that in the next few weeks more and more people will know the real facts and they will change their mind to accept the deal and see the truth. Just look at the new FR port, where it is now that 50% who approve the deal after they heard the facts versus 35% when the hysteria started few days ago.
