"The Hammer" on "The Ports Issue"

Any regular reader of this blog knows how I have great respect for Charles Krauthammer, so when he writes on pertinent issues I take the time to look into what he says. This column is no different.

In this column I like the fact that Krauthammer looks at both sides of the issues and understands both sides, saying that the security issue is an important one but that it is not the end of the world because the UAE is a friendly regime with the United States. In that, he is saying that killing the deal now would do too much damage. Although he does say that this should have been killed off early, he spends no time crying over spilt milk, going ahead to showing that once again, killing the deal now would cause too much damage to what Bush is doing to reach out to the Middle East.

The best piece here though is that Krauthammer is not afraid to point out the blatant hypocracy on the part of Democrats on this issue in relation to racial profiling, something that Democrats grandstand on, but are currently doing in relation to this issue, by crying out in the name of security.
