Galactica Finale A Portent Of Things To Come In Light Of Port Developments
- By Frederick Meekins
In the season finale of Battlestar Galactica, the Cylons sent an emissary in the form of a religious minister genetically engineered to look human appeared (that in and of itself an apt metaphor for many of today's churches) to the Galactica crew claiming the annihilation of the colonies of man had been a mistake and that from that point forward this cybernetic society of robots, cyborgs, and clones would no longer harass, to use Lorne Greene's words from the original series, "the ragtag, fugitive fleet".
In light of this development, the newly elected president, Gaius Baltar --- himself a Cylon puppet seduced by the enemy's lusty fembot --- decided to settle upon a habitable planet. An entire year elapses and it seems the Cylons have proven good on their word; however, one day from out of no where the Cylon fleet appears out of hyperspace.
Since the colonials have largely demilitarized, the Battlestars Galactica and Pegasus are forced to jump away through hyperspace with the remainder of the fleet in order to avoid detection. The episode ends with Baltar surrendering to the Cylon delegation and the metal soldiers with the pulsating red eyes marching through the struggling human settlement.
Those breathing a sigh of relief over the United Arab Emirates seeming to relinquish their claims to a number of America’s most sensitive ports would do well to watch this hauntingly prescient scene.............

Just a question to other Republicans.
Should we ever extend the same Diplomacy to any Arab nation that we do to most European nations?
I lived in Dubai, and I say that Should we ever extend this courtousey to an Arab Nation....Dubai would be my choice.
Look at a map of the Persian/Arabian Gulf...when we begin slapping Iran around like a wet Shadora it would be in our interest,as well as Dubais,for us to remain close economic allies.
More USA Warships put into the ports of Dubai than any other port in the world.
Iran siezed 3 of Dubais Islands in 1992...
I understand the consternation of someone that would equate the radical Muslim forces with Cylons but would urge a bit more scholarship upon the matter.
