The only thing UAE will be doing with the ports is loading and unloading ships. They will have nothing to do with security.

Anonymous@229248, you have hit the nail on the head. That is exactly what awaits us in the future if we Americans don't get our heads out of our asses and do the difficult job of fighting terrorism. In order to successfully fight the war on terror we will also have to change the mindset of those in the middle east to where they will not want to join the terrorists and radical Islamists. Some countries there will be changed with diplomacy but others will have to be changed with force. Then the people of the region can be given hope for their future which will go a long way towards preventing them from joining terrorists. You people will need to take off the Bush blinders and let him do his job, he only has a little more than 2 years left. He won't have time to finish the war on terror so we will need another President like him in office to continue the war on terror. If you muddleheads elect something other than a strong willed person as President then you will get what you deserve when it happens.
