Nope, some of the American people entered a state of wild hysteria and swallowed LIES, as whole cloth. Some are still foaming at the mouth and refuse to look at the facts.

And NONE of this has anything whatsoever to do with American "sovereignty".

Most of our imports come from foreign ports; Singapore and the Netherlands being the largest ones.

American companies long ago gave up the shipping business and we rely on foreign own ships and lease foreign companies the management of some terminals in our state owned and run ports.

But that's okay...facts don't matter one whit to you and the vast majority of the American populace never pay any attention, whatsoever, to much of anything.

That's bullshit. Most of our imports come from inside the country.

What I saw around FR for three weeks was ever growing resentment towards Freepers who opposed this deal. 90% of the ad hominem responses came form the pro-DPW/UAE side. And Bush`s intitial defiant public statement, where he threatened a veto, fueled that resentment.

>>>>And NONE of this has anything whatsoever to do with American "sovereignty".

This had everything to do with American sovereignty. The American people don't want foreigners running US operations. Americans want freedom from external control.
