he's right.
We need term limits bad! Nobody can go into politics unless they have worked in the private sector 20 years. And they are limited to 20 years as elected officials.
Well, sometimes the prejudice could be downright healthy. I, for one, am strongly prejudiced against grasping hot or sharp objects with my bare hands.
During the cold war we tended to sympathize and offer carrots to countries such as Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia even though they were integral parts of the "Evil Empire" and in the end it paid great dividends. We can think of extending trust to a country that now seems to be an ally against terrorism as a reward for that cooperation. Should we extract assurances from DPW some of which will remain unknown to the public and hold their operations to a higher scrutiny?
Most assuredly.
I don't think we owe an apology to the UAE, But the usual suspects in Congress who raced to the microphones thinking they had to respond to Chuck Schumer's demagoguery should be held to account. This story is no different from the Valerie Plame story, Katrina, or the Cheney Hunting accident. All of them were way overblown by the MSM, despite the fact that they knew the truth
My only beef is it is a government owned comapny. If it was privately held, I can care less about it.
All the overblown have one thing in common: Get Bush & his Administration.
UAE — Close on the heels of the cartoon controversy raging across the Muslim world, it is the turn of an upscale American school in Abu Dhabi to ruffle Muslim sentiments by teaching lessons that allegedly ”smell of racism.”
Over 100 copies of the social studies text book, ‘World Cultures’ taught to the sixth grade children were confiscated by the Ministry of Education yesterday, for allegedly presenting Islam and the Muslim countries including Gulf states in a negative light while glorifying Israel on the other hand, Khaleej Times has learnt.
It has been accused that chapter 25 of the book running from page 599 to 614 contains a deluge of derogatory remarks against Islam and the Muslim world, for example, dubbing Middle East as one of the most dangerously explosive areas in the world and the Muslim conquest of India as the most bloodiest in the world history, to mention a few.
Keep repeating to yourself, they're just like us, they're just like us, they're just like us.....
Yes massa, may I pray again? Yes massa, may I pray again? Yes massa, may I pray again?
COSCO is controlled by the Chinese Government and they have 50% of the terminals in LA, Calif.
Isn't DP World only 50% Dubia Gov't owned?
I agree and I am really unhappy with millionaires in both parties holding positions of power, election after election.
Men like Rockefeller, Kennedy and Kohl, and women like Boxer and Feinstein. These people have plenty of money, yet their thirst for power is never quenched.
I don't buy their "public service" spin. It's about acquiring and maintaining power. Were it not, each one could fund and run their own damn charity.
Something like that, not sure of the %
what is taking place here is nothing more than crass political posturing and an irresponsible and ill-informed ad hominem attack by screaming "Racist!" "Bigot!" at Americans.
There's always at least two sides to every story -- except when Arabs claim one of the sides, I guess. Oh well, so far Mr. Zogby hasn't killed anyone.
"Smearing all things Arab remains the last acceptable form of ethnic bigotry in America"
Americans are not smearing all things Arab. The ones I know are rejecting all things ISLAMIC. Rightfully so, I might add.
I prefer blue cars to red ones..
No, they are the Bizarro version at best..
