My guess if we don't support this, then we can just kiss any kind of help from the UAE on terrorism goodbye.

If their help is in any way contingent on them managing our ports...then that should raise some red flags right there.

Are you familiar with quid pro quo - that is, An equal exchange or substitution? That's what at play here, like it or not. This is a reward to UAE for their helping us fight the war on terrorism. We cannot do it without help from countries in the Middle East. /p>
