Michelle Malkin’s got three topics that show even more why we should not do business with Dubai: they’re against free speech and opinion within their country, including hers, another blogger’s, and ours.

But don’t think that if the Dubai Ports World deal is blocked that means our ports are safe. With 5% or less of incoming cargoes subject to search, port security is an issue no matter who is running some of the terminals.

For the record, the human rights cause demands action, but not the authoritarian, isolationist blocking of business deals that Kip and others are advocating.

Further to the story cited above in The Jerusalem Post, Michelle Malkin points to a WorldNetDaily piece by Les Kinsolving, in which he poses a relevant question: “Why should any control of our ports be given to a company owned by such a dictatorship …

GOP officials are apparently mulling over a deal that would allow for a new review of the Dubai Port
