I agree, but unfortunately perception and reality here are two different things. This will be politicized to death, whatever damage might have been done to relations with the Arab street has already been accomplished by what has come out from the media, and just how many of those containers that come in now have ever really been checked out. No, I agree that we should not be putting any of our strategic assets under the control of any other nation, but then how many nations do we depend upon now just for the everyday products we use, not to mention the war toys we field for our own national defense.
