It's the principle of the thing... P & O, UAE DP, our ports
Edited on Mon Feb-27-06 11:28 AM by higher class
Even if the history of our relationships with the UAE were faultless, I would still be against the sale just as I am dumbfounded to learn that a British company owns them.

If the airports are U.S. owned, why can't the ports be U.S. owned?

This question must be answered to discuss the morality and risk of any further actions.

It's not too late to establish why they can't be.

All the complaints about the lack of security at our ports has been a joke if we proceed with any foreign entity owning them.

I now hold in contempt all Congresspeople who complained about security at the ports and who are now making it worse - not just because it is the UAE.

This is all contemptible and our collective congresses and presidencies are responsible.

We trusted them.

Is it possible for a majority of the citizens to file a class-action lawsuit against the administration? And a sub-class action lalwsuit against Congress?
