We cannot give up on the idea of transforming the Middle East, to foster the competition of peace and prosperity, as long as the majority of people there are willing to fight and die for that future.

Really ?

Every Muslim state is an ethnic civil war waiting to happen. Once an American army enters a Muslim state this disrupts the internal ethnic pecking order and all hell breaks loose. By our very presence we get sucked into the ethnic civil war that follows.

Willing to die for that future ? Are the Shiite militiamen imposing Sharia on Basra fighting for that future ? And the most effective units in the Iraqi military are simply Shiite and Kurd militias in uniform. Believing that the ethnic groups that find us useful for the moment are 'allies' fighting for 'democracy' is incredibly naive.

we see two factions competing here in the US: one group seeing who can raise the most alarms about Muslims and Arabs in America, and one competing to seperate and isolate Islamists from the broader Muslim community while reaching out to that broader community to follow our path. Not the path of the Islamists.

I convinced my m-i-l this past weekend that the DPW business deal wasn't that bad after all. I filled her in on a bunch of info, and she said "I didn't know any of that."

Rookay, just how many of the UAE native born citizens -- not sons of imports, are fighting side by side of us in Iraq?

"The DPW deal seems to have done something which needed doing: expose some serious flaws on the right side of the political spectrum."

Of course you mean "conservatives," don't you?

But you folks have exposed as the ugly under-belly of the RINO-globalists of the GOP center-left and purveyors of it's anti-U.S. sovereignty agenda.

It's clear who's been pandering to who in the name of power over principle since the year 2000.

The premise of the article is that all opponents are only anti-Dubai. My thought (and probably quite a few others) is that American ports should be serviced by the majority of American companies. I'm not posting to argue the point, but I just want that point straightened out.
