Basically at the end of the day the argument comes down to this by the anti port people. NO Arabs Period- Dont LIke Muslims there crazy-
I have seen people all day on these threads say "hey the more I learned the more comfortable I was with this"
The President has the gosh darn common sense to know the Forign policy disaster if he renigged on this deal because there "arab". Folks the world moved on. the arabs own alot including a bit of our national debt. We have a future engagement with Iran in our future. I really cant expect UAE to put their people in danger and all those pretty new buildings as well as their ports To IRanian missiles if we treat them like a common prositiute. LOng term and Short term because the Dems and Republicans have made this a "race" issue and "religion" issue the President will have to veto it. IN fact in some tiny way the anti arab and anti Islamic rants have forced him to do that since the whole world is watching.
No one seems to be able to answer why they're against it other than "Arabs caused 9-11!"
I'd love there to be a thread here on FR from which the rest of us voluntarily don't post, and only those with experience in this field post back and forth. I know it won't happen but it would be cool to see only those who actually know what they're talking about talk about this.
