- Good for Security?

How can handing over management of six of our major ports here in the US, to a United Arab Emirates-based company be good for national security? Um, Bush, Congress, somebody can't allow this to happen.

Sure, it may be fine for the next three, five, seven years without incidents, but all the while, whats to keep Osama from infiltrating this UAB company's infrastructure with his own, and using this as way to get more terrorists into our country? Heck, if they can have hijackers learn and train and immerse themselves into our society before 9/11, why make it easier? Two of the 9/11 hijackers were from the UAE. We're supposed to be making security tighter and shoring up our borders, not letting questionable, foreign countries manage our ports! This is a recipe for stupidity, and potentially, disaster. How far will our president test the limits of absurdity? He says the UAE is a key ally in the war on terror. Fine, let them be a key ally OVER THERE and not in our own country.

I understand this may be a situation of 'guilt by association' or even a type of international 'profiling', but excuse us for being a little sensitive to our national security breaches. We have every right to be more strict and aware of the measures we take to protect this country, and we can start by stopping this UAE port management deal.
