The Arabs are Coming! The Arabs are Coming!

It’s always a good idea to allow Arabs to control your country’s major ports. No really, it is.

Well, President Bush thinks so. The man who condemns acts of terrorism on the United States and promises to fight terrorism to the death (not his death, of course) is the same man who is now allowing Arab-owned company Dubai Ports World to operate six major U.S. ports, including New York and New Jersey (Source: USA Today).

I say we just skip all the democracy crap and just instate Osama bin Laden as the new President of the United States. Maybe Saddam Hussein can be the vice president. Actually Saddam is a bit of a power junkie, so we could let him run the country and bin Laden could head up the CIA.

How can Bush not realize that he’s inviting terrorism into this country? Is he just so blinded by false hopes and ideals of freedom, democracy and capitalism that he’s willing to put American citizens at risk once again?

The man is truly an anomaly. An inexplicable anomaly. It’s futile to call him stupid anymore. I’m almost convinced that Bush is actually a terrorist in disguise. He could be cavorting secretly with the enemy.

It’s reckless that the Bush administration would risk the safety of Americans when our country is already under such a high security alert. Since 9/11 our airports have been increasingly upholding all security measures to ensure public safety. After subway bombings in London last summer, American subway systems in major metropolitan areas, including New York and Chicago, were subsequently placed on high alert. Even security at the Mexican-American border have proved to be shaky and inadequate.

Now seaports in New York, New Jersey, New Orleans, Miami, Baltimore and Philadelphia will be controlled by a United Arab Emirates-owned company. The Associated Press reports that “critics have cited the UAE’s history as an operational and financial base for the hijackers who carried out” the 9/11 attacks. How 'bout we just sell all of our American airlines to the UAE and allow Arabs to operate all airports?

And apparently New York and Maryland officials were not notified of this business transaction. Gotta love the communication between state and federal governments.

Hey Bush—still think this selling-American-ports-to-terrorist-country thing is a good idea?
