US Sells Ports to Terrorist-linked Dubia, UAE

Not really. Some details on the deal. [Time.com] Maybe some members of congress should read this before turning US foreign relations into an oportunity to make a name for themselves. (Am I the only one that smells 2008 approaching?)
For all the talk about turning over control of US ports to foreigners, I feel like I should point out that:

In Los Angeles, California, companies from China, Denmark, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan lease operations. [CNN.com]

foreigners own almost 30% of US port terminals [Iranian.ws]

This second article, from Iran, offers a very interesting outlook on the situation. The opinionist argues against foreign-owned ports. Of course his primary modivation is protecting closed Muslim countries like Iran from western influence. I think he makes my point for me.
