A UAE supporter replies!
Today the Calgary Sun published this letter to the editor, defending the United Arab Emirates and their state-owned airline, Emirates Airlines. As per Sun style, the one-line rejoinder underneath it was written by a Sun editor:
Re: “Keep UAE flying low,” (Ezra Levant, Jan. 25) The UAE has a “forever” leader, yes, because he is the best. Slave labour exists (according to Levant) but illiterate third-world labour forces are there by choice and not by force. As per the Israelis not allowed in UAE policy, one in a million (if any) Emirati is ever allowed in Israel. Dubai’s economy runs on trade, commerce and tourism. Oil is just a side income. By the way a Canadian recently was jailed for 15 days for slapping his wife in the city of Dubai. What does that tell you? Please stop being a typical stereotype jealous cat. Emirates airline is doing excellent in the world because of its service. Canada is afraid of a little competition. 9/11 and UAE? What is Levant so concerned about? The U.S. allows Emirates airline in five of its cities seven days a week.

(Kicking Canada’s Camp Mirage out of the UAE was beyond the pale.)
You've got to admit that's a pretty awesome example of persuasive communications.
