There's an interesting conundrum developing here surrounding the UAE, and it doesn't seem to be getting the attention in the mainstream media that it deserves. That is, is the United Arab Emirates a friend or foe in the war on terror? On one hand, they are given credit for financing and hosting some 9/11 terrorists as well as being allied with Osama bin Laden. On the other hand, Bush calls them an ally in the fight on terror. Based on Bush's track record, can you believe him? And if not, would he really, possibly, be that dumb as to allow our ports to be sold to a terrorist supporting nation? Unless, of course, Bush himself supports the terrorists. I've proposed this theory before, but if you connect the dots... You think it's coincidence that instead of pursuing bin Laden to the fullest, Bush threw this Iraq red herring into the picture. Everyone knows Saddam did not support Islamic terrorists - he was a capitalist to the nth degree. But, we knocked him out of power so we could create a terrorist-state in Iraq. Mission accomplished. Then we let bin Laden go. And now we sell our ports - seemingly against the wishes of Congress, which Bush appears to be bitch slapping once again - to a terrorist supporting state. Is Bush really a fundamentalist Muslim? Probably not. More likely he does he have some debts and/or strange alliances due to his and his family's history in the oil business, and the chickens are now coming home to roost, so to speak.

Of course, this leads to the question, can state run by a religious zealot but truly democratic? It just so happens Bush happens to be the most zealot president I remember, and he has done his best to move our country from, democtratic to oligarchic rule. Then again, Hamas seems to be playing with in the rules of deomocracy and instead of being given credit are being punished. You're right, how could the rise to power of groups like Hamas be unexpected? And theoretically, we should we have a beef if they play by the rules of democracy - unless of course our support of true democracy is a complete sham.
