Rebuilding Iraq's Internet

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Thursday April 10, 2003 @05:07AM from the other-side-of-war dept.

Anselm writes "According to this article at Wired.com, "The war has left Iraq's Internet infrastructure in shambles. Now, a British ISP hopes to fund the reconstruction through sales of domain names ending in .iq." While I have no use for an IQ domain, the article does make me wonder: Should geeks around the world take the lead in getting Iraq back online?"

I didn't know moderators could comment. You are obviously the same dredge who modded my comment as redundant.

I'm sick of liberals like you making us seem to be the bad guys. We have said all along that we will not try to rule Iraq. This is not Victorian English or the brief period of American Imperialism. We are not colonists anymore. Wake up. You may not like Bush or Blair, but their plan all along has NOT been to take over Iraq. People like you are always looking to start trouble.
