Good piece in the National Journal by Jonathan Rauch: In Arabic, “Internet” Means “Freedom.” Intellectual isolation and censorship precludes the spread of Enlightenment ideas and basic liberal values in the Middle East. The internet is helping to break down those walls. I would love to support an effort to connect young people from universities in the Middle East with young people in the U.S. to support the free spread of ideas using the web as the conduit.
