Those Pesky Saudis

Now apparently they're going to own our ports. My reaction? If they're willing to pay, let them have them. I understand the need for security, but I'm even more of a fan of free markets. If you think this deal could hurt security, figure out a way to closely watch the ports, or something else. Don't suddenly decide to ban investment from the Middle East. Our greatest weapon in the war on terror is our way of life (though in the radical circles who are most interested in fighting the war it's probably the greatest motivation as well). So, keep the economy running strong by letting people make deals.
