Long story short, I trust the UAE about as far as I can throw them. <BR/><BR/>I know the Brits use to own said ports in question.... but I don't think that the Brits woulod ever give serious consideration to allowing some fellow Brits into America with hopes of bringing the Colonies back into The Empire, or just plain old do nasty stuff to America. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm... could the same be said of the UAE?Kevin Whitemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019976622801954677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1140817912234884632006-02-24T16:51:00.000-05:002006-02-24T16:51:00.000-05:00For both cases, it is well to remember my maxim (o...For both cases, it is well to remember my maxim (oft repeated to my children,):<BR/><BR/>"That's why God made .357 Mag pistols!!"Dad29https://www.blogger.com/profile/08554276286736923821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1140805380196622172006-02-24T13:23:00.000-05:002006-02-24T13:23:00.000-05:00As far as father UAE is concerned, I'm sure that e...As far as father UAE is concerned, I'm sure that everyone, myself included, would be watching him like a hawk. That said, I'd also pray that his repentance was sincere, and that Jesus gives him the grace to live and proclaim fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church. Any deviation from that path, and there may be another unfortunate 'hunting accident'.Brother Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697860817229595126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1140804159570397992006-02-24T13:02:00.000-05:002006-02-24T13:02:00.000-05:00Repentance and redemption is always possible with ...<I>Repentance and redemption is always possible with God.

Too bad the UAE can't say the same. <BR/><BR/>But anyhow, back to my parable... how would you react to "Father UAE" being assigned to honcho 6 Catholic youth groups in your parish?Kevin Whitemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07019976622801954677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-1140791058346696842006-02-24T09:24:00.000-05:002006-02-24T09:24:00.000-05:00How about another parable, about a man who advocat...How about another parable, about a man who advocated the murder of Christians, to protect his own religion. One day, as he was travelling to another city to encourage the murder of Christians there, he was stopped by a blinding light...Oh, you've heard this one before?<BR/><BR/>Repentance and redemption is always possible with God. Don't forget..<BR/><BR/>I doubt that the security of the ports will be any less, it's just a different group of foreigners skimming the profits. The stevedores will be the same guys from 6 months ago, the security guards, customs agents, shop stewards and union reps will all be the same as well.<BR/><BR/>If the company were Iranian, Jordanian, or Syrian, then I'd be worried.Brother Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697860817229595126noreply@blogger.com
