Wonderful post!

If we want something up quick, we would use the world’s technological infrastructure to have a “running start”

Sites like Iraq the Model, Big Pharoah, and others are a part of this: certain people in the Gap are technologically savy, and we can start building a Gap blogosphere creating a non-governmental forum for debate, discussion, and analysis. A respected blog can become a one-man NGO.

A side point: The comparison to the dot-com boom is interesting. The bubble was caused when people overestimated revolutionary changes in communications. Could al Qaeda be doing the same thing — overestimating its new global reach in a radically changing world? Are we living in a “terrorism bubble”?
