Re: So?
I wonder how useful "our internet" would be if it wasn't for a certain Finnish programmer? Or how useful it would be if other worldwide contributors were denied access to "our internet"?
And I thought China had a closed mind about things.
Now, if the country a business mainly operates in is told by that government to do something, that is one thing...but this has nothing to do with who the "Internet" supposedly belongs to.

Encino, CA | You're also talking about a country where we go and "liberate" those who we feel are oppressed. (just that you might have to replace "liberate" with "blow the s*** out of")
Diplomacy isn't exactly looking like our strong suit these days. |

Diplomacy also has the side benefit of not leaving all the really messy hard-to-wash-out stains all over the countryside that you're currently "liberating". Just a small benefit.  |

Just a small benefit. It also has the teensy-weensy little problem of being completely and totally ineffective at stopping terrorists and protecting the USA. I have yet to see the proof in the pudding on that one. Blowing the s*** outta them first-hand (target and civilian alike, what's the diff?) seems to be just as effective as negotiations.
With communications, you'd have relative peace with the occasional nutjob slipping in to mess things up, and causing bad times. With this current regime, we're just slowly and steadily feeding our armed forces into the meat grinder for the appearance of relative peace now. Even with the troops sacrificing themselves in the wrong place, it doesn't really bring me any security here at home. What's to stop another nutmeg from pulling off another stunt with our crippled non-communications of "intelligence" departments?
Our trousers have been down around our ankles ever since 9/11, and nobody seems intent on picking them up. |

It's completely impossible to negotiate with someone who's goal is to kill you and create a world Islamic government. Look at how all of the negotiations with Arafat went. Nothing but lip service while the bombs just kept coming. There's only two choices now, sit back and wait for the next nutjob to kill ten thousand people at a ball game or try to wipe out the conditions that turned them into nutjobs in the first place. At least now the freaks are fighting our soldiers instead of taking potshots at our citizens. |
