DP a company that owns the World

The port container company DP, which was stopped by congress from buying a few US ports has post a profit on other ports it owns.  This company handles freight containers.  It is a company that is from the Middle East.  

This company owns 42 ports in 22 countries. The profit will make it's share holders happy.

Now why did this article catch my attention.  Is profit better than security?  If 22 other countries don't have a problem, than why did the US?  Oh I forgot, the 9/11 fear politics.  Not that 9/11 was not a bad thing that happened to the US, but the fear that the "terrorists" wanted to produce in the American public worked.

Terrorist means one who produces fear.  Well, our country has been run on fear for too long.  The idea that you can stop someone before they commit a crime is stupid.  If the person has not committed a crime but might talk about it or maybe plan it, still has not committed it.  

Yes, in some cases, the person has the malicious intention to follow through but until then it is simply hot air or wishful thinking.  But there is the problem finding the intent and proving the intention to harm or commit a crime.  You will never know until the crime has happened.

Okay, that's it for this scribble.  I know my point of the article is to stop the fear that has run this country.  I know that is impossible since fear works on people.  That's the scribble for today.

Chaos has subsided

Once again I have found myself struggling.  It has showing in the lack of posts on this blog.  I think the tide of chaos has subsided.

Today the Candidates for the Presidential office are going to get answers from General Petraeus.  Has the war in Iraq been concluded to the point where the US does not have to be there any more?  Or do we, the American Public, need to set up a puppet government in Iraq using US contractors, to turn Iraq into the next US territory?  These questions will never be truly asked.  

I will be back to reading international headlines.  And giving pert opinions.  Amanda's Scribble will be a voice on the Internet for international opinions.
