Its scary to think of all the foreign interests in North America.

If a majority of these businesses pulled out or sold off to the wrong buyers, there could be a heap of trouble in a big hurry.

I suppose it would not be easy to sell such businesses off to the wrong people, but if a few dummy corps slipped through or were so well hidden that they make it through the screening process ( I hope there is some type of screening process ), kaos would ensue.

They're selling most of their stakes to AIG. AIG is already under investigation. How throughly checked was AIG? Are we assuming that they're not muslims, therefore they're ok? Who was checked more, AIG or DPW?

Who are 'the wrong buyers'?
The foreign held assets are constantly being sold.
