No, but it obviously only takes a dozen to cause a lot of damage, so it makes no sense to increase risk by selling your port to the country that unintentionally financed terrorism. I think the UAE's connection to 9/11 was that two of the hijackers had UAE passports, not unintential financing. Don't tell me how this is known since presumably the passports would have been burned to a crisp. Gustave can probably answer that one! ME countries are oppressed. Well, primarily by themselves, right?

Syria and Iran are instigating anger from this cartoon in order to manipulate their people by getting them angry (and thus supportive to whatever Iran might do.) While conveniently deflecting anger from their own totalitarian/oppressive gov'ts. I think Elroy is right. The Danes should have taken the Iranians up on showing cartoons that reflect the Holocaust in a bad light. Let the Muslims see on Westerners react to such cartoons. The Muslim reaction to the Danish cartoons is an overkill IMO. ted
