Karen, I feel sure that the Dubai people that have been given, or sold, the right to operate those 6 ports, have been carefully screened, and informed of what they can, and cannot do. I read somewhere on SI, that these ports had been run by the British, and that they were bought out by Dubai. What I do not understand, is why there are not Americans that are qualified, and able, to run these ports. Is it that the work force, such as the pier workers are too lazy to do the grunt work, or just incompetent? That worries me more than Dubai running the ports.
IMO, a lot of people are too spooked, and jump at conclusions when anything referring to Islamic people is mentioned. As you say, only a small percentage of Islamics are terrorists, and like a small percentage of American citizens are murderers, it is not right to cover all Islamics with the same blanket.
But, if the time comes when every worshipper of Allah believes that all infidels should be converted, or killed, then we have a problem, and have to use what ever means to blast them off the earth. |
