The Dubai Ports World Acquisition

A very bright newsman from a New York City public radio station, I believe his name was Bob Hendley, asked me yesterday whether the controversy over the Dubai Ports World acquisition was an indication that the American public was waking up late to the the fact that over 80% of the ports in American were already run by foreign companies.  I agreed and answered that the American public must also learn a bit more about the benefits of international trade and investment so as to analyze this information.
