Ok as far as Nationalism and Isolation in Iraq goes it is a crock of BS=2E=
They may have been strictly monitored in the past if government official=
s were even given permission to get on the net=2E The original intent was=
to keep everyone in the dark ages as well as it may seem that way now=2E=
Other factors to take into effect is the issue of Iraq only having aroun=
d five phone lines that even go outside of the country=2E Now that Saddam=
Hussein is no longer in power things have changed a bit=2E I personally =
have witnessed during my year tour in Iraq that they have set up satellit=
e towers and other means to provide internet access=2E Internet caf=E9s h=
ave been established and even though a site that I have gotten some infor=
mation from says they don=92t even have cell phones=2C they do exist=2E H=
ow else do you think they set off the IEDs=2C (Improvised Explosive Devic=
es) that are killing all of our fellow Americans=3F =
My personal opinion is that they do isolate there selves from the interne=
t and several other things=2E With what little technology they do have in=
Iraq is misused by the idiots that can afford it and are often members o=
f the Taliban or Alquida forces being supported by some loser who has not=
hing better to do in life=2E I=92m not saying that all people of Iraq are=
bad and misuse everything they own=2E The whole topic is just a soar sub=
ject for me considering that I have lost some close friends while I was t=
here and I strongly believe that the whole country will never be able to =
function independently on its own because of its Government or whatever y=
ou want to call it is weak=2E
