Americans And Chinese Internet Censorship

Key to this success was the assistance of Cisco, who built a giant firewall tailored to the state's needs, Yahoo (who helpfully censors search results and monitors online chats), and other Western companies."

    No, democracy IS good in all situations and all places. Just go read the history books they give you in school. THe United States is never wrong. We didn't invade Mexico, they attacked us! We didn't destroy the way of life in the Philipines, we helped them grow as a country. The US is never wrong and democracy is always right. Damn that Marx fellow and all his clever ideas about working together for a common good. Damn that country that rules over a billion people and manages to do a good job. Its all bullshit commie lies.
