What are you harping about? I didn't suggest you accused Bush of getting paid in this deal. You may want to harp at someone who did accuse you, not me. Man, writing to you guys demands constant reality checks. Dan B.

With the rush to privatize everything by this administration, even if it means selling the ports to a UAE state owned company, wouldn't it be smarter to keep these jobs and the profits here in the US? The reason that the UAE is clamoring to buy these ports is that there is a lot of money to be made. Seems that a US company would want to operate these ports too. Where are they? Even if there are no US companies willing to run the ports, then the government should create a company to run them. If we can't have the confidence to invest in our own ports then we're screwed.
