They have to do some of this protesting or they look like P*ssies..the question is will any of it have material effect on trade or security arrangements?

I predict it won't.

Dubai only cares about making money. They will continue to trade with the US.

Picture a situation -- say Boieng vs. Airbus -- where all the material elements are equal or equalize out(just for the sake of argument). If I was them, in the past I might have leaned towards the US. Now, if the $$ net the same, I would lean AWAY from the US.

This cowardice, uninformed bias, and stupidity on our part will cost us for a long time.
