The cable will increase tyranny? I think you mean "decrease American hegemony"..

As explained multiple times throughout this page, it'll do no such thing.

Every little bit counts. I for one welcome the demise of American hegemony - and I don't see why this isn't a step in the right direction. Just because a bunch of Americans say "nu-uh .. we'll just hax0r your cables" doesn't mean the rest of the world needs to bend over and prepare for a greasin' ..

If the country planning the private cable had a better human rights record than the US, I'd agree.

Unfortunately, that's not the case.

You might want to think about Americas' Prisons. The secret ones, as well as the ones being used to enslave 1/3rd of the population..
