This is why we are a Constitutional Republic and NOT a Democracy. Stupidity and knee jerk hysteria is not a sound base for Government policy no matter how well it polls.

I am absolutely stunned at the out and out bigotry by people on this forum.

You're right, this is exactly why a Democracy is a bad idea.

The other problem is that easily most of the people being polled get all their information from the six o'clock news. They are woefully misinformed about facts, and the polls in general reflect that. Not just on Dubai, but on just about every other "outrage" the media are trying to sink the President with.
