Bush is not responsible for the sale of P&O to Dubai Ports World. It is not legal for the President to unduly influence the decisions of government commissions that oversee sales like this one. Foreigners will not be in "control" of operations at the 6 ports in the US at which P&O has a contract any more than they did when P&O was British-owned. The US Coast Guard will still oversee security at all US ports. US citizens will still be running the ports, and working in them. All that has changed is the ownership of the contract company.

To fight terrorism, it must be attacked at the source. Dubai and the UAE have proven themselves to be reliable allies in the war on terrorism. Shutting Muslims out of the US business world for no good reason will only serve to alienate them and hinder our efforts to fight terrorists.

the situation isn't lots that united states of america is identifying to purchase and merchandising in a worldwide marketplace as that's being executed each and all the mutually as the Bush/Cheney administration, if possible call it that, has been stirring the backside consumer-friendly denominators between us with "worry point" charts, xenophobia and enforcing a crushing financial burden on state and county governments and airport proprietors for the faux "duck and cover" drills and heightened protection. ANTHRAX! ANTHRAX. EEEEE! The sky is falling. And, the Conservatives and others who're traditionally roused by using such moronic propaganda methods fell for it hook, line, and sinker packed with cowardice.

*Rubbing my claws together in that universal sign* Of money...

Let's face it, it all comes down to that.



Personally I feel jobs in America should be worked by Americans, not sold to foreign companies no matter which country.

But hey, what do you expect? The American workers have been sold out again and again by the government in power...
