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.

personally I'd like to see my country become more isolationist and let all of you rot in your own little cesspools. I'm tired of my tax dollars funding the world bank, the UN, and every time some country has a problem that we "HAVE TO" send money because of the little panty wipe democrats needing some form of fulfillment for their enlightenment. If we called in all of our debts since WWII we wouldn't have the financial load we have right now and most of Europe would still be third world. Believe it or not there is going to be a future and you better believe it is going to be an American future.
