There are so few viable reasons for this.

Well, actually, there are. This Dubai company is the largest in the world
and actually is a fairly responsible company.

I'm starting to think this is much ado about nothing. At least in New
York, I don't believe Dubai Ports is going to be operating "the port",
just a terminal. In NY, other "port" operators include American
Stevedoring, Inc., Overseas Orient, Maersk, and Maher. P&O is the company
Dubai Ports is buying:

From a business standpoint, it makes perfect sense.

However, from a security standpoint, I'm not so sure.

Come to think of it, the only other company who could provide these type
of services in the US is Halliburton. And we all know how untrustworthy
Halliburton is. :)
