Fine Line

Today I am Commenting on the whole situation with the Middle Eastern Company trying to take over some U.S. ports. I think that, that is a fine line to walk. If we don't allow it, then we come off as rude to our middle eastern allies who have been very helpful to us. On the other hand if we do allow it then we are trusting our port security to foreign people. There is the possibility that they may be infiltrated, and could use the control to harm us. When I think of us turning them down solely on the fact that we don't trust them because of the actions of a few people who may not be associated with the cmpany, how does that make us look. This is a delicate situation that requires deep thought and consideration. I honestly do not know which way to side on this. Certainly it is wrong to judge an entire people based on a few, but that doesn't mean that we should automatically trust them or anyone else. I don't believe that all Middle eastern people are terrorist, but on the other hand terrorist have been known to find there wasy into supposedly safe places.
