I don't mind FReepers venting and using me as their object of frustration.


I did not say I disagreed with the port deal.

Either way it came out best for my party and probably will for my country.

I can guarantee you that Dubai's relations with the USA is based more on money and security than on wanting to be just good buddies.

I agree with you. I think there is possibly even more info out there to be heard. Of course, there are some who not only INSIST that the deal should go through, they would also assert that those of us who weren't ok with it are "moonbats" or "stupid" or a host of other INCORRECT (and I'm being nice) assertions. It really makes me wonder who does value intelligence and who just wants 'fall-in-line' compliance without dissent. Gee. There are a few prominent historical figures that required such devotion. Lucky for us, W is not one of them.
