A British company, P&O, manages 6 major U.S. ports. There are plenty of terrorists in England. After all, the London subway bombing was an inside job.
But don't worry. The Brits are out. P&O is being taken over by Dubai Ports World, a company owned by United Arab Emirates, home of 9/11 attackers.
Congress is threatening to kill the deal. Bush has promised to defend the Arab company with his first veto in 6 years. Homeland Security is rescuing cats stranded by Katrina.
The world becomes a tricky place in a global economy. Your point about English terrorists is dead on. What happens when everything becomes a free market issue?
In situations like these, first ask yourself who benefits?
Follow the money. Ask as well, are there no American companies that could handle this contract ?
Hard to believe that's the case here.
