Saudi Arabia's 'Great Firewall'

securitas writes: "We've all heard about The Great Firewall of China (see this Wired feature) but many don't know about Saudi Arabia's version of the same. The New York Times reports on the challenges and problems of filtering the Internet for an entire nation. San Jose's Secure Computing has the contract but may lose it when it comes up for renewal next year."

I really don't care what nation you are from, nor what you stand for. I am just telling you that you don't appreciate the good things that this country does. You brush us off as if we do no good in the world. Ok, lets stop and think where your part of the would be without the US.

1. The entire Middle east would be controlled by either A. Soviet Russia, or B. Nazi Germany.
You bitch now because we are athoritarian.
Ohh ok.

If the above wouldn't of happened.

2. Saddam Hussain and Iraq would control the entire Arabian Penninsula. He would be using Biological and Chemical Weapons on everyone that disagreed with him.

If the abobe wouldn't of happened

3. In less than 20 years every middle east government would of been overthrown by a Radical Militant Islamic group like the teleban. All of your rights would be gone. No COMPUTER ANYMORE
NO PHONE, NO TV. You think we are authoritive?

Gee we don't look so bad now do we.

From every American to you.
Your Welcome you undeserving son of a bitch
