RE: L.A. professor triggers Myanmar Web shutdown
Viva The Web

I'm impressed with the power of the web, and applaud anyone who uses it right a wrong. Further I'm impressed that the individual professor, by use of the web, was able to embarrass a totalitarian government, into admittance of their guilt, and to fear the net so much they try to pull it down (good luck!Something the USA has wanted [off and on]since they gave it to the world).
The net is truly a light that can chase the shadows from the dark places of the world, this is an amazing medium.The people rule the web, not governments.
I also admire the courage and conviction of Kenji Nagai, who was taking the pictures that frightened a mean spirited government/u] into murder.(Shame.)
My heart is with the pro democracy people of Myanmar, and my eternal disgust to a government who rules by murder and intimidation.
