"he should have realized the American people might not take this lying down"
unionspeak. I stopped right there. the dubai deal shows our rugged ignorance and pridefulness. We are going to fight a war someday to recover the fabulous wealth we relinquished to the ME for minerals. We could have done it the easy way, two way trade. Now we'll do it the hard way. But make no mistake, the day of reckoning is coming. When the rest of the world decides to gang up and push our paper back, we are screwed. then the same ignorant prideful people will be asking, what went wrong?
Did you ever consider that that might be what is necessary to make this country WAKE UP!???
They'll blame Bush.
;-) Sorry, couldn't resist.
