In reply to: krz 's message, "united arab emirates" on 02/23/06 9:49:02pm

a quick look at the situation tends to make one's head spin:

why would we do a deal that puts authority into the hands of a country that has for years supported radical islam in this country and outside; supports anti-american hatespeech within its borders; jails homosexuals; allies with our enemies; personifies the anti-thesis of our pro-democracy and pro-individialism efforts in Iraq

?

it's a big question

i've listened to the supporters and i've been patient but it sounds just a bit unnecessary to me on the surface.

on the other hand, perhaps the dealmakers have more savvy than i give them credit for and are brokering a deal that may put us on the inside of a closed world? sounds like a stretch and it appears to be more about money than anything else

someone should explain it to me because i haven't heard or read enough about it to really have an informed opinion

it's surreal.

the whole situation we find ourselves in with islamo-fascism vs. the rest of the world is our reality. there's no mistaking it.
