Johnnie, it's not just based in Dubai. It's owned by Dubai.

That's the problem, I've gone back and forth on this but what I have a problem with is exactly the problem with ChiCom companies. Companies are owned by governments, who may not necessarily care about normal stockholders, since their "stockholders" are the government. And what happens if Dubai suddenly becomes an Islamic Republic?

They believe in Sharia compliance in banking. They will do business with Hamas. There are some tentacles in this that are disturbing. Future actions are what is troubling. And there was a freeper that said he does business in Dubai and that they only "tolerate" us. It all makes me uneasy.
