So much for civility on FR, eh? Well, I guess those folks approve of welching on deals with allies--at this rate, we won't have any left in no time at all. This is not a good time to be making still more enemies in that region. (And anyone thinking that only Dubai will be peeved over this, think again. Our word isn't worth much if we go back on this deal, and don't think it won't be noted.)

Actually, I doubt it. The people who run the "big money" in Dubai and other countries aren't stupid...they know how to negotiate, play politics and use the media to their advantage.

No one is exempt, including American companies...again...THIS IS HOW A BIG BUSINESS OPERATES.

Exactly correct. Wall Street is worried about this and the impact it will have on our debt. Watch the market take a hit over time as a result.

Hope everyone enjoys watching those investments take a hit.
