I'm sorry that I'm wrong but glad to be corrected. It still leaves us with the question; "what can the government do to make American companies take this deal?"

Like I said, it's just not the whole truth and you weren't totally wrong, but having that information does change the way I perceive the situation.

Like you, of course I'd rather see American companies managing American port terminals, but there is no way that I think the government should come in and try to 'fix it'. The business decisions that were made, we made legally and freely by American companies. Their profit margin wasn't high enough so they sold out to foreign investors. Now at this late stage of the game it would be expensive as hell to get back on top and I don't think it's the government's job to intervene.

I'm sure you don't but from other suggestions I've seen on FR I have to wonder if others do. As things stand at this hour I have a strong suspicion our magnificent Congress is working on a way to do just that. Hope I'm wrong.
