I'm sure that the al-Maktoum family's appalling exploitation of labor is a neo-con's wet dream.

So, people who are OK with the UAE ports deal, please ask yourselves if you believe that Dubai Ports World once here in the US will not immediately begin lobbying to destroy the right of workers in the ports they will control. Just think of the money the UAE can pump into lobbying to buy anti-union, anti-labor legislation. They've already started buying lobbying services to shove this deal down our throats with the help of the likes of Bob Dole.
