American Technology, American Freedom
Hardliners in Iran are struggling with Internet and trying to ban or restrict people from getting access to it; it’s stupid but they even try to ban Yahoo messenger or Orkut! On the other hand some American service providers warn Iranian clients to reject them time to time. For example Planet had just fired an email to its Iranian customers telling them that their service will be terminated within hours.
I really don’t get it; I mean, it’s not just about Iran, citizens of any country have right to use and enjoy of technology for business or personal use. For countries like Iran Internet is the only way to interact with the world and there is no alternative for it. President Bush just announced in his speech for second round (Four Years More term!) that he wants to export liberty and American freedom to the world! Well! That’s fine; let’s please start with American Technology! People know how to use it for their freedom and the rest would be much easier for you!
