It's an Islamic state. Islam is radically opposed to us. The UAE has produced radical Islamic terrorists who have killed Americans and would like to kill more. I think it was perfectly reasonable to want more assurances on this point. That said, I think Congress' action was stupid and just a bit of grandstanding.
Thanks at least for that though it's a whale of an understatement. When you say the UAE has produced terrorists that makes it sound like the government there was behind it. Is that your take on the three terrorists from Ohio or the cell in Buffalo, NY?
"The U.S.A. has produced terrorists."
