Oh well. The UAE's sponsorship of terrorists sends a bad message too. C'est la vie!
Everything changed after 9/11 - or didn't you get that memo?
The UAE is one of our biggest partners in the WOT. You should read Richard Miniter's book "Shadow War". Then you might have a better understanding of how this whole shebang will negatively impact our ability to fight Al Qaeda.
In the big picture, we shouldn't be allowing foreign governments to operate our ports. But it shouldn't have been handled this way.
"The UAE's sponsorship of terrorists sends a bad message too."
Are those terrorists the US Army? Last I looked, the UAE has soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan fighting along side American soldiers.
Please get some facts before you spout.
