This is such a tough call to me because Dubai is everything Hanson has said and more. Having been there three times, I can tell you that Dubai is nothing like people would expect. It is a beautiful, modern, liberal cosmopolitan city. I have fond, fond memories of the place and would recommend a visit to Dubai to anyone who wants to enjoy a great time. I hope dearly that the Pentagon can smooth over this ugly event and American servicemen and women can contiune to enjoy liberty in Dubai --which is a little bit of paradise for those of us who find ourselves in the Middle East.
That being said, I just can't come to terms with a Muslim entity controlling our ports.

I understand your points, and I hope we can patch things up as well for the sake of our servicemen and women, but I'm also not willing to give them carte' Blanche when it comes to national security issues.
