A new resolution introduced in the US Senate offers political backing to the Bush administration by slamming a United Nations effort to exert more influence over the Internet. At the heart of this international political spat is the unique influence that the US federal government enjoys over Internet addresses and the master database of top-level domain names - a legacy of the Internet's origins years ago. The Bush administration recently raised objections to the proposed addition of .xxx as a red-light district for pornographers, for instance, a veto power that no other government is able to wield.

ah, so the EU can try other people but it is wrong for the US to do anything like that? for example what is called rape and murder in the west is legal in someplaces. Mercy killings in some places, honor killigs in muslim countries are examples of murder that are legal elsewhere. Abortion can be considerd murder and child abuse! why does belgium get to have the final say ? who are they todo that.
