You act as if the only thing that ties UAE to terrorists are these intellegence reports. Two of the hijackers came from there and funds for the training came through the government banks.

We'll just agree to disagree. I'm not saying the world is ending if the UAE runs our ports, but I am saying that I'm not comfortable with it.

ALL of them boarded flights at United States' airports -- and ALL of the pilots learned to fly in Florida.

Shall we boycott them, too?

and funds for the training came through the government banks.

Through CitiBank; now I hope you don't shop at Sears anymore.

And Timothy McVeigh came from Oklahoma and most of the 9/11 terrorists learned to fly airliners in this country. Terrorist financing has run through almost every international bank in the world. If you want to apply your standards consistently, we'd have to stop trade with all U.S. companies as well.
