Excellent point. At first people say there is no money in running a port but then I hear this UAE company is making a killin'. There has to be money to be made in this or why did a British company do it all these years or why does a UAE company want it now if there is no money to be made?
The UAE is looking for worldwide capital assets like these to jump-start their Sharia financial markets.
That is my main point. The UAE government may be an ally or be helping in the war on terror, even though I think that is questionable. But when it comes right down to it, I think they consider us all infidels.
How will we know where the money we are paying them is really going? If you watch the Engligh-translated newscasts that come out of UAE, one might question where their loyalties lie.
I wonder what their feelings on Israel are?
