Yeah, you never win. But I am pretty sure as 1988RedT2 said, people are getting really pissed off because its an Arab country, people are still post 911 scared of the idea, the president hasnt helped because he is constantly revamping the idea of COUNTER-TERRORISM so it keeps everything still fresh in the media, while he tries to pass the ports off to an Arab country.

Having GWB as president makes me wonder if votes are actually counted in America..

.....then you might be a terrorist

There was a story on NPR the other day that stated 80% of ports are owned and operated by foreign companies. It was pretty interesting, you can listen to it here:
