US blocks soldiers from websites
By Rob Watson BBC defence and security correspondent

The US military is to block troops from using YouTube and MySpace and
11 other popular websites for sharing photos, video clips and
messages.

The decision could stop thousands of soldiers from communicating with
friends and loved ones.

For many US soldiers serving overseas YouTube and other similar
websites are a popular way of keeping in touch.

But according to US reports, the Pentagon has decided to block access
to such sites for technical reasons.

"Today, Americans would be outraged if U.N. troops entered Los Angeles
to restore order; tomorrow they will be grateful.

This is especially true if they were told there was an outside threat
from beyond, whether real or promulgated, that threatened our very
existence. It is then that all peoples of the world will plead with
world leaders to deliver them from this evil.

The one thing every man fears is the unknown.

When presented with this scenario, individual rights will be willingly
relinquished for the guarantee of their well being granted to them by
their world government."

by a Swiss delegate to the meeting.
