Well how does this work with Internet's (and IETF's) mission of
inclusiveness. Applying the same scale of "oppressiveness", I am
sure large parts of the world think the same about the US/UK which
has waged wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Syria, Argentina
(our latest venue) and elsewhere.

The IETF doesn't seem to have a problem having meetings in
these countries. I hope the majority of participants on this list
realise that they are viewing the world through a western prism.

The notion of punishing the general populace for the mistakes of
their elected and unelected govt. seems wrong to me. Many times,
the general populace of the country is fighting their govt. through
the Internet. eg. Turkey.
