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.

all i was saying about us Candians help cleaning up your mess is that it seems like every time you start something he have to get our peace keeping buts over there so that way that country doesnt retaliate due to americans bad thinking. And you guys go back home and leave everything in ruins. Yes we have a milatary but it it isnt the best in the world. We dont put millions of dollars into weapons and such. We give that money back to the people.

Sorry to have inconvenienced you canuck!
Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if the US could stop wasting money on other countries and the military? Sounds good to me. Someone else can come in and wipe your asses all over the place like has happened in the past.
OK, everyone, new rules...everyone stay in their own country because we no longer have a milatary to do anyting about it...umK? Please?....
