The Use of Censorware

There is an interesting article in The Christian Science Monitor that caught my attention. Mr. Ben Arnoldy shows how American products are being used by many governments, such as Burma's dictatorship, to censor the Internet. It appears the sell of "censorware" to these oppressive regimes is legal -- but is it ethical? Should the US Government intervene on behalf of oppressed citizens elsewhere? What about censorship in place here in the USA? If we ask the US policymakers to address censorship abroad, would we not be rightful to demand the same for US citizens? Or should we turn a hyprocritical blind eye to what goes on at home while we raise the flag or moral indignity to foreign events? Sadly, I bet we will do the latter. It seems it is too hard for us to look at our own house and admit that there is as much dirty laundry here as there is elsewhere.
