UAE Foes Racist

See, told ya.

Is it racist/bigoted/stupid to burn down embassies? Is it wrong to never condemn these actions?

While I think there are lots of good Muslims out there, hesitation due to the sensitive nature of job in the context of post-9/11 doesn't seem to be racist. It seems to be common sense.

Getting rid of Miers wasn't sexist. She didn't have the mental chops for the job.

Getting rid of the UAE based company (or at least pausing to investigate further) to manage our ports isn't racist. It is sensible. The bombers weren't from France. And I wouldn't even want a French company doing the management. So there! I'm a Francophobe, too.
