If congress stops the deal, the much bigger danger is that the UAE will ask us our military to leave their country and their ports and it will be a huge strategic loss for us in particular if we will conduct military actions against Iran in the future.

Yes, exactly. And I may add that discrimination is exactly what this deal represents. UAE is not Hamas, nor is it particularly interested (as rank and file citizens of a progressive, modern country) in Jihad against the West, as some elements of the Middle East are.

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.
