I remember the panicked headlines about Japan buying Pebble Beach and Rockefeller Center. The point the article is trying to make is that this type of protectionism has been seen before. It was just as foolish then as it is now.

I thought the idea of private property was that one could sell it to whoever one wished.

Would you not like it if I sold my house to a Japanese company?

No I'm good with that.

Just don't sell strategic ports of entry to the enemy in wartime.

Did we give control of our ports of entry to the Nazi's in WW2?

The USSR during the Cold War??

The North Vietnamese during the Vietnam War???

But somehow its a good idea to sell them to a dictatorial Muslim regime that votes against the best interests of the USA 99 percent of the time in the UN and supports a boycott of the only REAL friend we have in the middle east, Israel.

DUHHHHHH!!
