That's a matter of opinion, I guess.
Anyway, Dubai Ports World loses either way. The Port Authority of New York/New Jersey has a clause in its lease requiring it to approve the transfer of any leases. DPW never sought that approval, and now the Port Authority is going to court to break the lease (and very likely to be able to do so, according to local reports.)
Not sure about Baltimore or Los Angeles, but I suspect local political pressure will force a similar outcome.
Local news coverage in NY has been very negative about this deal, with a lot of favorable PR for Schumer, Hillary, and the newly-appointed Senator Menendez of NJ.
Either way, DPW is not going to get the leases on these ports, and it's too bad the Republican Party is suffering for a lost cause.
I wonder if someone who leases space in a shopping mall becomes intimately familiar with the policies and procedures and security measures taken at that mall.
DPW also runs a number of terminals in China and has recently closed a huge deal in Pusan, ROK.

I believe you are simplifying this a little too much...SuperCuts nor Britain has blown up any Americans, at least recently...
The reality is, whover runs these 'terminals at the ports' will be operating under our trust...You and others seem to trust these muzlims more than most of us do...
And sure, there will be some American security but apparently the majority of the security rests with the ownder of the lease of the terminals...
