Calling racist the last refuge of the weak mind. Why should we trust them after their close ties to Al Quaeda? And they have ties between teh ruling family and Bin Ladens organization. As I recall several members for their ruling family have had repeated meatings with them.

Calling racist the last refuge of the weak mind.

And I said I wasn't calling you names -- only pointing out that saying, "I don't trust any Arabs" is a racist statement. Obviously so, I'm surprised you'd even try to defend such a statement. This makes me wonder how honest you're being in this discussion.

Why should we trust them after their close ties to Al Quaeda?

Because all that was last century. This century, they've been our steadfast ally.

Times change, alliances shift. This century, the UAE has been on our side against the terrorists.
