I'm pretty sure you know very well that the www is the greatest technological creation in modern history. Although I suppose somebody else would have invented it earlier or later if you hadn't, I just wanted to say thank you for having done such incredible pioneer work on a sector that has changed the lives of us all.
Translation? Summary?:
The 'world wide web' (www/ internet available to the public) is the greatest creation in modern history.
Someone else could have made it, if you (creator) hadn't.
I just want to say thank you for having done such pioneer (first ever to do) work on something that would change our lives forever.
Because of your work, I work with former soviet scientists to design and share online training schedules for athletes throughout the world. People are people regardless of where they are located; with dreams and the inner quest for knowledge. 20 years ago this would have been impossible. Even though the geopolitics would have still gone the way they had, the net has allowed us to be more than non combatants..we have become friends.
because of your work:
I work with former soviet scientists to design and share online training timetables for atheletes.
People are humans, it doesn't matter where they are.
people have goals for more knowledge.
20 years ago this (the timetable for atheletes) would have been impossible.
geopolitics...world politics?
even though...the 'world politics' would have still gone the way they had (who the heck would vote for Bush anyway?!) the net brings people around the world together.

In other words, this guy is thankful that the internet was made available for the public. And because the internet became able for public use, he (with former soviet scientists) was able to make training shedules for atheletes everywhere.
He says that 20 years ago, this may not have been possible. He talks about people's desire for more knowlege, probably talking about new future inventions that may change the world.
He speaks of geopolitics. Well, the internet used to be only available to the army, maybe he was commenting on that fact?
He says that the internet brings people from all around the world together.
This is TOTALLY out of topic; perhaps he is equating Ali to the creator of the 'world wide web'?
