For all the post-September 11 focus on Islamic anti-Americanism, the world's reaction has in fact exposed the variety, complexity and ubiquity of antipathy towards the US. In Argentina, Hebe de Bonafini, an internationally known human rights activist and president of the Association of the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo (mothers of Argentines who "disappeared" during the dictatorships), has said: "When the attack happened I felt happiness."

The entrepreneurs and technological visionaries that unleashed the digital revolution were not contemptuous of government - they just ignored it. During the heady, early years of the Internet boom, the dominant view in Silicon Valley was not only that cyberspace did not need government, but that it could be largely immune from its interference. The common wisdom was that all it took to avoid any governmental regulation was to move the servers to another, less intrusive jurisdiction.
