For News Junkies NOT On Vacation

U.S. Plans to Sign Nuclear Pact With U.A.E. is the headline on the WSJ News Alert that arrived in my Goggle Mail less than 15 minutes ago. This will be the first nuclear-cooperation agreement the U.S. has signed in the Middle East. Critics worry it will fuel nuclear proliferation in the region and also because the U.A.E.'s largest trading partner is Iran. Writes the Journal reporter: The U.A.E. has served in the past as a transshipment point for technology with military applications headed to Iran. Stay turned to your various news sources to see how this story develops.

That sounds scary, why would the UAE need to sign such an agreement?
Hope it doesn't turn the other way round
