1. Our European exports

New Orleans -- the food from the midwestern bread basket

Houston, Galveston, etc. -- oil

New York -- everything imaginable

Whoever controls those ports has the power to determine what and how much we export and import and how fast. And in the "free trade" economy, that means they can starve us or inundate us with junk or whatever they want. And if they take our seaports today, who is to prevent them from taking over contracts for our airports tomorrow. We should never have allowed any foreign company to control our seaports -- especially those seaports.

5. As Gary Hart stated last night on Maher

There are 23,000 cargo containers that enter through our ports every day. Only 5% are inspected.

He also went on to state that, Dubai aside, our ports are already so porous that it creates a serious problem in terms of national security.

6. Brit War Barons now run P&O run operations in most of Developing World

Only 6% of P&O port contracts are in the U.S. Most are in the non-anglo non-white world. Is that ok? But it is not ok for an Arab conglomerate to buy them out.
Are we going to continue to subsidize neo-colonialism on the backs of the
third world for ever.
