Well then, most people are stupid. They will run a terminal - not a port. And, why not?
Because it's idiotic on the face of it, politically and potentially strategically. Politically, for sure, the risk-reward on this deal was negative. A bad wager. Strategically, it's my hunch that it's high risk.
And then to justify it by saying, "we don't want people to think we're racist..." How lame! The called us racist when we were strafing Afghanistan with artillery. It didn't stop us then.
Good work. That's exactly the kind of thoughtful, persuasive argument that's going to turn these numbers around. :)
