A. This was the same sort of error that led to the downfall of Judah after Hezekiah's time.
B. The bin-Ladin family has construction companies in the UAE.
C. Which is more important: money or integrity?
I have friends in the UAE.
I desire the Good News to spread in the UAE.
However, just as I believe an expansionist policy is wrong for the USA (ie. it is wrong to build a USA empire in Muslim countries), it is also wrong for other countries to control major USA ports in this way. It is both unwise politically, internationally, historically, & ultimately economically.
Unless the USA government wishes to cede a certain portion of seats in Congress & certain offices in the White House & the Supreme Court to foreign governments, this seems foolish to me.
It is like spreading sand over our eyes.
The UAE government cannot grow legitimate vegetables in their deserts & now a UAE agency is being asked to control the USA ports?
I suppose that it is about as likely that Tel Aviv will become a popular destination to homosexuals & actively seek them out.
Oh ... that is already happening according to a story I read this past weekend.
Alas!
Righteousness exalts a nation,
but sin is a reproach to any people.
