Actually now that I understand this whole thing I'm still torn.Yes there is a part of me that doesn't trust the UAE or any other Muslim and or Arab as far as I can throw them,..for good reason.Then there is the rational part of me that can look at a map and understand just how important an ally the UAE is and hope we didn't screw that up.Mostly this has been a PR disaster for Bush which I hope doesn't rub off on the rest of the party.
"Mostly this has been a PR disaster for Bush which I hope doesn't rub off on the rest of the party." The "rest of the party" deserves whatever they get. If they think they're gonna save themselves by becoming the "me-too" party in the lets-exploit-the-port-issue-to-bash-Bush game, they are sadly mistaken.
