What the?

So there is outrage over this port deal.  It doesn't make sense. This is pure discrimination. People are like the Arabs are going to take over. What the fuck dude. Americans are still going to be working at these ports, they are not going to suddenly stock them with foreigners so it is absurd to think that ownership changing hands is going to be suddenly dangerous. I guess people have no confidence in the rules of law any more. Because if you own a company in America you are subject to our laws. So it is not like all of a sudden importing a piece of the country into the United States. If we can't keep a port safe in our own country governed by our own government subject to the rules that every other enitity operating in the US is subject to then it really doesn't matter who owns the damn thing. This is a knee jerk reaction related to the horrific ignorance and current bad attitude related to anything in that area of the world. The concern if any should be this. That this country will be another example of using American resources for financial gain in a place where women's rights are neglected and the government is a unelected by the people. There is a reason we have government inspections and regulations. So that not just any company no matter who they are can damage the welfare of the people of the United States.

Bush supporting this is a whole other issue. Is it that he is actually seeing it as it really is a pure business transaction and that we shouldn't discriminate or is it that he really is not paying attention and any kind of business deals he automatically supports and doesn't get involved in. Especially if they involve big money. I'd like to think that for once he would actually be doing the right thing here and speak about not being discriminatory and attempt to help the american people really understand a situation for once. I can hope can' t I?
