Yep, a lot of people who have been screaming bloody murder over this the last few days will have a lot of mud to wipe off when this is over.
THe main things I checked on where DPO reputation -- they are considered one of the top Port Authorities in the world. Does DHS keep control of security - they do. DO American Longshoreman continue working there - yes they do.
Add to all that that the UAE is one of our allies in the region, and possibly the most progressive muslim nation in the ME.
The attitude that Middle Easterners are all blood thirsty savages is really appalling to me, and a lot of very good FReepers have disappointed me with the kneejerk reactions the last few days.
So what is your opinion of this "deal".
Are we taking a chance or are some over-reacting to nothing??
