Maybe it's a good thing after all (sarcasm). The commies
will be exposed to no democracy, the West will get exposed
to no communism (MSN search will remove 'linux' from its
SERP's) and everyone will live in bliss that is owing to
ignorance.
My dad once argued that the world is shaken up due to the
advancement and abundance of communication, which makes
people in poorer countries feel bitter and betrayed.
Best wishes,
