Interconnectedness

People say that the power of the web is that we can now communicate more efficiently, and that we can now archive information easily. At some level the real power lies in the fact that people from other nations and political situations can express their views to foreigners. This morning alone I have read the comments of an Iranian, a German, a conspiracy-theory supporting American, and a foreign newspaper about the upcoming situation with Iraq and the U.S. This breaking down of political walls is interesting because people in other countries not only express their self-interests, but their view of history is different from the American view and they are outside of American political marketing and can thus offer a fresh perspective. Here to keeping the web open.
