Would make more sense if they were blocking information leaving the country somehow. Not sure how that adds up, but maybe I haven't had enough coffee yet this morning :-) Mat - Wikipedia blocked in China, eh? Wacky. I think we might need to make you our OMC Asian correspondent!

Iran has an activist foreign policy and has definite plans to change things in the neighborhood. They view themselves as an empire, and may well be preparing for a war. If they block Yahoo! as well, you can bet your bottom dinar that something is up. And that something ain't going to be nice. G'mar Hatima Tova, Reuven Eric,
