Why would we turn over management of our ports to any foreign company? Is the United States so incapable of competing in the global economy that we have to outsource our own port management? Contracting port management to a UAE company has security issues, but it also has serious economic issues. Why do we need to hire a company from another country to manage our ports even if security wasn’t an issue? I’m not opposed to foreign trade, but I do think it makes us look inept when we go outside our borders to get the best deal on the management of the very places when products and resources come and go. Are we still a world leader?
