Exactly, well said samantah.
It would be rather naieve to belive that all 1.2
billion muslims are our enemies and those that
think that approval of the UAWE deal makes one
weak on nat. security could not be futher from
the truth.
My big objection to not giving the deal to the
uae was based on nat. security.
GWB was getting ready last week to give more
secret intel to congress(a bad move the way they
leak) to futher prove his case that UAE are
huge allies. Don't know if he did or not but
would not matter now.
Losing intel on the WOT from allies compromises
our troops abroad who are always at risk but
better off with good intel. We can only hope
UAE will rise above our insults and continue
to provide us with whatever intel they have
given in the past.
We can help them feel better about Americans if we write to them and express our dismay about the over-reaction slamfest and bigotry leveled against them. I would hope that there would be no more of these runaway, reactionary, lunatic fringe mass hysteria sessions, but I am afraid that is just what the MSM/DNC wants until after the 2008 Election. There do not seem to be any leaders or grownups in either Party or the Media except GWB.
