The big story is that President Bush hired a port security company headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
I don't know much about the specifics, but the dissent I've heard has been based on racial stereotyping and xenophobia. Just because this is an Arab company, doesn't mean that they would not do the job they were hired to do.
We cannot allow the erroneous theory that a clash of civilizations is occurring to continue. Arguing that an Arab company is on one side of the war on terrorism simply because of their racial makeup reinforces this conclusion. I 'big worded' myself out of ending with a joke.
