So does this mean you don't like the idea of wireless laptops for the millions of young muslims? Invite them in. Let them see everything and make up their own mind. You think they won't get hooked on HBO? Geezus??!!! What part of your 4th point of contact did you pull that from?? I'm all about the exchange of information via the internet. It's one of the greatest tools the West possesses for advancing their values in the marketplace of ideas. But need I remind you that its highly unlikely that the internet will survive as an uncensored and inclusive resource should Islamic militants seize control in those countries? Just look at how the Taliban treated the concept of mass communications... They FULLY recognized that ideas are dangerous.. Granted, many militant groups are using the internet to spread their own ideas. But it's incumbent upon us to be equally aggressive in advancing our own values so that muslims will remain capable of being able to decide their own fates, rather than being subjugated to some theocratic brain-washing..
