But with further revelation of UAE's ties to terrorist funding, as well as circumstantial evidence of UAE direct meetings with Osama Bin Ladin, I would disagree with Bush and say that this sale of port business should definitely not be allowed to go into the control of UAE's Dubai company. UAE has forfeited the right to this sale, by their own actions. Not so much for security reasons, because I don't see much risk, but simply as a matter of principle, of not rewarding these people for being assholes to the United States in our attempts to contain Al Qaida terror.



Aside from the hyperbole at the end, I agree completely. While I don't think being Islamic means someone is in bed with terrorists, i think its pretty obvious that a lot of the problems in the middle east are from the power bases (corporations and governments). Letting one handle the ports is just asking for trouble.
Doesn't matter who is handling security.

Bow ties are coool.
