The Dubai Ports World Deal.

It seems some Senators and Congressman are speaking out against the purchase by a UAE company of London-based Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Co.

When I thought of the UAE, I remembered seeing a cable show about the UAE building what are called the Palm Islands. I looked it up using google "uae man made islands" I found this link that markets Home: Property Developments: Dubai: The Palm Islands
realestate.theemiratesnetwork.com

Any country that has created the spirit to create something like the The Palm Islands is no friend of terrorists. In fact is has very highly vested interest in destroying terrorists.

One of the arguments that I class as Anti Arab racism is this.
"Critics have complained that control over port operations by DP World could endanger U.S. security. They cite the UAE's history as an operational and financial base for the hijackers who carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against New York and Washington."

I wonder how do we regard Italiens???
I cite Italy's history as an operational and financial base for the mafia for decades that have carried out hundreds of executions of US citizens and still do.

Thus I conclude I see Anti Arab racism.
