Probably also "feels" bad to some uneducated people too. Looks and feeling are not the way to govern. That is how the democrats do it.
Grown ups get the facts and base their decisions on facts. Children deal on looks and feelings.

To have such a strong feeling before knowing whether this acquisition of a lease will have any effect on port security is premature.
Fact: UAE doesn't recognize Israel's right to exist
Fact: UAE still recognizes the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan.
Fact: UAE recently moved to strengthen trade ties with Iran.
Am I grown up enough now?
