And we, as a sovereign nation have a right to not sell any thing, or right, to another.The UAE says we can't change our minds. That we MUST sell to them or else.
They don't have a RIGHT to this deal. They just had an opportunity. Who the hell are they to say we can't change our minds if we think better of it?

Why is no nation owning a part of ours bad? Important infrustructure in the US should be US owned, period. I have a big problem with foreigners 'investing' here by buying up so much private property, but when it comes to ownership of important infrustructure I don't want ANY foreign ownership at all. Nope- not even by allies. If that is counter to international politics- too bad. It's my opinion.

You forget it's a two-way street. We don't have a right to operate airbases or naval bases in Dubai, either, do we? Why don't you just run the white flag up in Iraq this afternoon and get it over with?
