We did mistreat Dubai, as this article shows is a strong ally. You can dismiss our allies in the region all you want, I prefer adults who can admit errors. I hope Malkin has such an approach, as opposed to silly smearing of all Arabs. That kind of attitude sure isn't going to help in the WOT.
Actually, it's the other sides attitude that is not helping in the "war on terror".
The first and most essential part of a war is recogizing and admitting that somebody wants to kill you.
Ignore it all you want. And be ready to apologize to good Americans and their (dead) sons and daughters because you couldn't see the obvious.
