This whole thing about reprisal by Dubai is way off the mark IMHO. Take a look at a map and you will see Iran right across the Strait of Hormuz from the UAE. Every nation on the Arabian Peninsula has a vested interest in keeping the USA happy. I expect some SMALL retaliation but nothing big.
The threat of Iran and our protrection is very important to the UAE. This whole thing is blown way out of proportion.

Uh-huh. And Iran's been there the whole time. The UAE has dealt with that problem for a long time; I'm sure they believe that they can continue to deal with it.

Being a sock puppet for the United States after the US has massively insulted the UAE, however, will show weakness. And showing weakness merely encourages one's enemies--including Iran.

Wait a minute, this flies in the face of "the UAE supports terrorists" line.
