A couple of more words on the ports issue

A week ago, I did not know a thing about our ports. Today, I know a little more and feel confident that we can live with a UAE company managing 6 of our ports.

Robert J. Caldwell writes:

"Security at the six ports – New York, New Jersey, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Miami and New Orleans – would remain exactly where it is today, with the U.S. government. The U.S. Customs Service and the U.S. Coast Guard would continue to provide security at the six ports in question, as they provide security at all American ports."

Jack Kelly, a strong supporter of the war on terror, writes this:

"It is stupid as well as shameful to turn the war we must fight against Islamic extremism into an attack on Muslims generally." (http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/pp/06057/660934.stm)

The war against terrorists is a very serious enterprise. It requires every ounce of our energy and commitment. We should not waste our time with ignorance and politics.
