These servers are all hosted outside Arab countries. There is virtually no Internet infrastructure in most Arab countries to speak of. So the very technology that could transform the Arab World remains banned for it would also bring with the winds of freedom in its wake. And the Arab regimes are not prepared to adopt a technology they cannot completely control.

I do find it ironic that the "Information Superhighway", the pinnacle of Western technological achievement, is being exploited by those who would destroy Western civilization. In a way its like the excellent roads built by the Roman Empire. The roads helped Rome expand and maintain its empire. In the end, however, the roads also made it easier for the Barbarians to invade & conquer Rome. Now the Internet is being used to incite the Muslim masses and coordinate terrorist activities. Just goes to show that technology is a double-edged sword.
