I'll take the opposing view on this one, as I actually agree with the administration on this one (wow, that felt weird to write): 1. the UAE is small potatoes next to Saudi Arabi when it comes to owning things in the US and supporting terrorism. To talk about the UAE and continue to ignore Saudi Arabia makes congress look uninformed and only interested in token resistance to the admin. 2. blocking an arab company or country from participating equally in our free market system will look incredibly racist and anti-moslem outside of our borders

So, i think congress looks panic-stricken, directionless and anti-arab doing this and hence I (gulp) agree with Bush.

Thoughts?

Okay, good points, Matt, but I'm all queer theory tonight, so I'll try a rebuttal tomorrow. Actually, a lot of new info came out today...
