Declan-

I was curious to see the effectiveness of the Pentagon's purported cyberwar 
initiative against Iraq. I would assume it has already started. I checked 
Google and Lycos for domains ending in .iq, but wasn't able to locate a 
single site with that country code. I wondered if your readers might know 
of a site actually hosted in Iraq. Perhaps I haven't been able to find one 
since I'm searching on English rather than Arabic terms. If there are no 
Web sites hosted, perhaps there is a server somewhere we can ping.

Cheers,

David Altenhof
