Has any politician that has objected to the Dubai acquisition explained to anyone the implication of Dubai gaining ownership of the US port management contracts. What, exactly, will change? Hmmm, you don't know? Neither do I. But it makes for a good soundbyte ("Arabs are taking over our ports!!!"). Aw, come on........I supposed to present this story in the best possible light, assuming there is one? For 5 years all we've heard 24/7 from Mr. Bush et al is how bad the Arabs are........suddenly, they let out a contract to an Arab company to manage all the major ports on the east coast. And you want me to bless the transaction as well as GW Bush. I don't think so.
