Ronald Reagan would do exactly what Bush is doing.
The UAE is a new country, growing and modernizing, and is an ally of the U.S. It is not monolithic and not without faults.

President Bush's strategy in the Middle East is clearly succeeding, thanks in part to help from the UAE. That's why Democrats view the UAE as the enemy. The Democrats have taken the ridiculous position that no Arab countries can be trusted, ever. The Democrats are defeatists and losers with no vision, no plan, no strategy, and no ideas. Their plan calls for America to become isolationist, to retreat and crawl into a hole.

No Arab Muslim country can EVER be ultimately trusted. And I ain't a Dem by a long shot. Islam demands the extermination of Infidels. Once you understand that then all else is clear.

As far as Ronnie goes; I don't believe he would embrace an Arab country at this point in the WOT. Of course if Ronnie were still Prez the WOT would be over - we won and now control the oil.

Sometimes it is just a matter of principal. Ronald Reagan had that.
