"I think it should be set by knowledgeable people, not you." Like Bush, who's collected a least a million we know of from the UAE? I said knowledgeable people. I imagine Bush has (or at least had) zero special knowledge of what's inveolved in the transfer of ownership of a port operations contract. There is a government organization (I forget the name) that has to approve this type of asset transfer. They did. Until someone knowledgeable explains why their approval is not adequate, it's good enough for me. If you're going to ban the UAE from operating a US port on security reasons, are you going to ban Emirates Airlines from their twice daily flights from Dubai to New York? emirates.com
