Hi,

I reply on list as I'm a little upset on this.

This simply isn't the job of the world-wide-web to enforce political
interests and it would be fully wrong to do that!
And it's against the democracy, the Internet and what "freedom of
speech" stands for!

Because if one re-thinks very closely, thats whats terrorists are
about: tear down our lives to fear, "over-control" and close to
dictatorial systems.
Do we want that?
I say no.


Now, I have to point out that I'm rather atheist, not christian, not
muslim, nor jew (ok, rather christian but more due to my understanding
of values I learned when I grew up)


I'd *never* say that I agree with what the Mullahs (German, sorry
found no translation: "Turban-Flattermänner") actually do BUT:

This is nothing to be solved by us at all on the net!

The Internet is open - and thats a very, very good thing at first,
second and third.

The regime there already does massive intrusion as we know (we
delivered the technology to enable that, CA's all over the world are
willing to sell certificates for *.* etc .- thats something better to
fight against! cause thats very ridiciculous! RIPE-Community should be
a really trusted CA i.e.)


But to block them by IP would also mean to block any other opinion there..

I'm not very political but I'm sure there *are* other opinions also there.

The more interesting question would be: who sent that?
I'd guess on someone that wants to drive a war forward, when we read
that, we should be aware of this matter..

I wouldnt under-estimate intelligence services, they did much greater
Jobs in the past (Stuxnet) than blending the public like this..


Please: Dont get me wrong! but in ncc-services-wg we're also not in
the club of "USA/Israel just wants to bomb out Iran and tries to find
better reasons" ;)

So basically this is fully OT - and the request from "UANI" even worse OT.

Finally, I wonder why this fax hasnt just been sent to the bin without
any notice..
Though, it's interesting to find out who stands behind that ;)


Michael
