Making Sense of the Ports Deal

What you have in front of you is a map showing the proximity of the United Arab Emirates to Iran. The same market futures website I quote in my petrodollar post goes on to offer a plausible rationale for Bush's insistence on the Ports deal, against massive opposition: quid pro quo. Dubai Ports Worldwide gets the ports, we get to use the UAE as a staging ground for operations in Iran. Take a look. It makes a lot of sense to me.
