How threatening was it to have Japan own the Rockefeller Center? Was there a danger of them taking it to Tokyo? And did you feel better when they sold it at a loss?

How many jobs do you suppose are created by the Japanese manufacturers building cars in the US?

OK, how about China owning the semiconductor industry. IN CHINA. Is that the same as the Japanese owning a building in NYC? Should we send the whole semi industry to China, and then hope they build a few plants back in the USA years from now? Or would you rather we do something about it now, to stop it from being sucked out of the country? Because believe me, the US CEOs and corporate elites running these companies won't blink twice as they tear it down in the USA and send it to China.

Do some research on how many billions of foreign investments were pulled out of this country within 90 days of 9/11.

Then narrow it down to middle eastern investments.

Then look at Saudi Arabia.
