"Well, I've already asked several times what Saudi Arabia has to do with the UAE."
You know, you are like a pit bull when you get a piece of gristle between your teeth. I never said Saudi Arabia and the UAE were the same. YOU made this comparison, not I. I am saying that Arabs in general, regardless of which Arab country is being talked about, are not to be trusted. Lying to infidels is part of the Koran. The UAE supported the Taliban. They let contraband get through their ports regularly. They will not recognize Israel, and 70-75% of the UAE populace are anti-American, according to a very recent poll (as stated on Fox News). They support terrorist groups on the QT, and are otherwise untrustworthy. It's only been about 4 years since 9/11 (two of the hijackers were from the UAE), and now suddenly they've done a 100% turnaround and are our best buds? What a joke. You can live in your world of self deception, just don't ask me to join you, and don't ask your country to join you either.
Yet, in every single thread discussing the UAE port deal, you bring up Saudi Arabia. Go figure.
"I am saying that Arabs in general, regardless of which Arab country is being talked about, are not to be trusted."
Amazing that someone would have the gall to accuse you of making gross generalities based on a person's ethnic background. How dare they.

Amazing that all those terrorists came legally to the United States to accomplish their training. It is almost like the United States allows terrorists to train inside its borders. We ought to ban trade with ourselves. And we should also ban trade with Great Britain. The last terrorist to try to commit an attack on our nation was Richard Reid, the Shoebomber. He was a citizen of Great Britain. And don't forget the evil French. Zacarias Moussaoui, the leader of them all was a Frenchman.
Your problem, Flaglady, is that you aren't even aware of what world you actually live in. You certainly have no idea of what is real and what is media skewed perception. You live in a world of your own creation, and I doubt there is anything that could shake you from it.
