Re: "HOWEVER... some foreign operators are less desirable than others. That is a fact." That seems to me to be a pragmatic accessment. I wouldn't disagree with that. Still, if one brings up messy little inconvenient details like that (Arab terrorism, Russian 'mafia', the average tin pot Dictator's little money-making / corner cutting schemes...) you are apt to have the 'kitchen sink' thrown at you publically: as witnessed by the admin's charges of 'racism' against congressional opposition, or, as during the Miers nomination battles, the charge of 'sexism'.... :) What I am saying is that --- when you have a perfectly valid and defensible point about unfair trade competition and GOVERNMENT OWNED 'companies' who's home land's industries are 'protected' from US companies' free market competition --- you might not even NEED to go to the second level of analysis... where special security concerns get vetted. Not that those arguments might not have significance as well. It's just that they seem a bit unnecessary at this point. Don't we stand up for Capitalism any more?
