Did Bush make the right decision on the Port issue?

I clicked on this looking for the punchline...
Come on, anything that starts with "Did Bush make the right decision...?" just HAS to be a joke, right??

My understanding of the whole mess is the UAE will NOT "own" the ports. They will be running SOME of the terminals within the ports. The question is to what extent. I have not read anything on that topic. Personally I don't like the idea but I don't think it really changes anything no matter if a UK based company or a UAE company operates the terminals.

It would be nice if American companies ran the entire port operations within our own shores. But it has not been that way for a long time. West Coast included.
