US Military Uses Spam, Internet Explorer

chundo writes "CNN reports that the United States government has been secretly encouraging the defection of senior Iraqi officials via email. Iraq is responding by shutting down some of their internet gateways to prevent these emails from getting through, forcing the US to find alternate means to deliver the message. Maybe they should have enlisted this guy - emails from him keep showing up in my inbox no matter what I do." This story about the growing military network bandwidth crunch shows the U.S. military trying hard to get every soldier online, all the time.

American arrogance???

Dude, yeah muslims are havin a hard time here, no doubt about it, but you can't hold all of us responsible for the actions of a few idiots..

America is a melting pot, sometimes it gets good people, sometimes bad people come in to the country, and sometimes they're just born here. Yet we allow them all to live and work here why?

Because as a whole, the US is the most tolerant country towards cultural differences. The only thing we don't tolerate is anything that is a human rights violation, then we step in.

Back in the 50's southern US states had a lot of clanspeople that were running around burning crosses and lynching african americans. Back then the KKK had lawers, doctors, and politicians in its ranks, but after 50 years of stamping them out, the KKK has been reduced to the white trailer park trash you see on jerry springer today.

See, we americans hate seeing people get picked on. We put the bullies in their places.

Anyways, don't hate the whole for a few bad apples. In case you're wondering, my family immigrated here in 1914 from sicily, and yes the newcomers always get picked on. My father and uncles were called dago wops by people back in the 50's, but that sort of public degredation no longer happens here without a lawsuit.

Why wouldn't I just check Iraqs?

Why would I look at Germany's domain to see what Iraq's internet domain was? Wouldn't it make more sense to look up Iraq directly? Like I did before I posted?

Anyway, China's domain is .cn, even though the name in Chinese 'Zhong Guo'.
