I just don't want any more sales to foriegn powers, especially when even more money will flow into the hands of terrorists.

A very noble position -- however, the Company running the port is already OWNED by a foriegn power. All of the ports mentioned are run by a British based firm. That firm is now being bought out by the UAE.

So, the port operations are not being sold to a foriegn power, they were already run by a foriegn power.

We aren't at war with Britian. Big difference, eh?

The British company isn't owned by England, it is private and has stockholders.

However, DP World IS state owned, by Dubai.
