The random political thoughts thread

Like I said above, I have no real problem with the thought of an Arab company providing these services (any more than I had with a British company that did it before or the South Korean company that does it in other ports).

To the extent I have a problem with it, it is because it is not a private company but a government owned company. I think there should be more concern about foreign governments providing commercial services directly inside our country if there is any remote security issue. And I'd feel that way if it were the UAE or the British crown.
