This will cost us, I hope it's just not going to come in the form of another 9/11.
so not allowing a UAE state owned company to operate these ports, is going to cost us another 9/11? that's your argument?
would you deny anything to the UAE based on that logic? suppose the UAE wanted to buy the world trade center from Silverstein, would you sell it to them? Would you sell Lockheed Martin to the UAE, based on the same analysis that says "if we do anything to make the UAE mad, that will lead to another 9/11". if that's true, then we might as well fold up this country right now - if we are going to allow what is essentially blackmail from an arab country to rule us.
