I wonder how Dubai, or
ANY other country would feel about a US company taking ownership control of their ports.
I'm going to go out on a limb here, and I have not had the time to look into this, although i'm certain there is some truth to this: I wonder how Dubai, or ANY other country would feel about a US company
with strong ties to the government taking ownership control of THEIR ports. Wealth in countries like Dubai are usually tied to royalty or strong connections with the ruling powers.
I don't think Dubai is an immediate threat, and they've shown support for the war on terror which is Bush's argument, but at the same time, that doesn't mean things don't change over time, and how would we really know. Maybe us Democrats aren't as liberal as we seem, we just exercise common sense.
