I think the main problem is the Europeans want to turn the Net over to the United Nations, and the US knows they are amongst the most corrupt and incompetent organizaitons on the planet even though that too is based in the USA.

More than likely there is another reason and agenda. I'm sure the NSA has all sorts of goodies and monitoring equipment operating on the highest root levels of the Net, that even goes beyond Echelon and the US doesn't want anyone else to be able to do that or know about it.

Sheesh... the US is the most corrupt country in the western world! And part of the learned hatred of the international community is simply because it is that - namely an assembly of nations with more "power" as a group. More power means "something to hate" in caveman terms.

On an EU commission on the net... Hell, they have their own agenda and can be trusted with shit. Rest assured the EU will go the same way as the US over time.

Ya can always rely on "powers" to start a war over ... well... anything and try to control it while screwing it up in the process. That's what happens when countries find their boots bursting at the seams.

The United Nations is nothing more than an apology by the United States for dropping "the bomb" on Japan. It is a fucking joke at best and the wrost a political tool used by america to give the appearance of "give-a-shitness" to the problems on the international scene.

I'm certain there is some corruption in it. All political organizations do.
But I'm more certain that it is incompetent to the point of being a bad joke.

More would get done and there would be great stability in the world if we just got rid of the damn organization.

For example the George Bush would have either ordered the military out of Iraq by now. Or he would have used an extreme amount of force to fix the problem.

In the former,

He has already made the United States look like criminal nation for invading the place when he should have left well enough alone. He would have said, "well we fucked this up." Lets pull out. Instead he is obligated to stay and fix it.

In the later,

Now that he fucked himself and screwed the Iraqis to the wall. He can't go for a quick resolution by force to just get it over-with. IE: Well we opend up a can of worms lets just do what it takes to fix it. Instead he now has to worry about appearing to be too militant or like the man he claims to have removed.

Instead more people die.. Insurgents now use it for a "training camp." And George W."ithout a doubt an Idiot" Bush continues to make one long sea of moronic fuck ups after another. Because he can't just wash his hands of it.

Without a fucking doubt.

Not only that.. But it gives the United States a measure of control over the economies of other nations that have come to depend on the net. There are two ways to seize control of another country. The first is by force and the second is by controling their economy.

Just look at canada for an example. It is sooo fucking controlled by the United States that when an american farts a canadian says "excuse me."

UN?! That's not even close to the thruth... There are some other organizations that can run The Net very well...
I don't know why are all the Americans sceptical about "loosing control of the Internet"? They would not have NSA on their back as it has used to be... I think that's a favour?! :D

Its not that hard to setup an account overseas, your biggest problem is going to be how to update it.. Remember if the Internet splits you won't see it. Like you can't see Chinese Websites because they are blocked from your view.

Can't see it happening despite the mumblings of an EU Commission. They also, don't "own" the net tho they may have more "seats at screens" than anyone.

Sure, the EU has a point up to a level.. eg. why the fuck is ICANN still a sub-contrator for the US govt? A DNS authority "should" be isolated from any govts - including the EU.

Who knows if it is related to NSA/Echelon. The EU used to split costs with the US on other areas where satellite comms were used, but had reason to distrust this cosy relationship and have been going their own route for a few years now.

Another more public aspect is taxation on net revenue - the EU loves to collect taxes as much as the US and they are slowly adopting the concept of "control" which is now widespread in the US. (Is that not what any group of people/nations try do when they form themselves into a cohesive unit?

)

Even if they try to go ahead with it, the EU is made up of a bunch of individual countries, and I'm pretty sure each country will stand up and say 'erm, excuse me we WANT to be able to access US sites'

I mean, do you think for one second that the many democratic European Countries would stand for this? I seriously doubt it.

Not likely they are bluffing... unless that comment was from some idiot with a loose mouth casually muttering. They never "bluffed" on much else so far.

If the EU starts that shit.. and they feel they have an alleged cause to do so, (ie why is ICANN still a subcontractor of the US govt and assumes upon itself factors that influence other nations?), the chances are all other nations will be supporting this - simply because they are not currently being represented. It's basically an "OK, let's play, but not while you insist hogging the ball 100% of the time".

Only nation to lose is the US - they rest can only gain. A graceful mediation may be relevant where nobody has to "lose" anything and we can all have peace and earn some money without more pathetic diversions.

First, this would kill businesses and hurt everyone's economy. As much as other countries want control of the net, they simply have no choice. This may not be what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Everyone will suffer.

As for who I think should control it, the US. It's not really a pride thing or the fact I'm American. We built it and we should be able to choose who controls it. It would be like building a really popular site and having someone come by and say "Well we should allow some other people to control it to be fair".

Either way, who gives a shit who controls it?

No comparison to any site. If the US wants to have the benefits of trading internationally and use other countries as an arm via the net - they obviously have to agree on "something". It's that simple. The choice, (not that it's even on the cards), is that other countries group and form their own DNS authority - not exactly difficult.

First, this would kill businesses and hurt everyone's economy. As much as other countries want control of the net, they simply have no choice. This may not be what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Everyone will suffer. As for who I think should control it, the US. It's not really a pride thing or the fact I'm American. We built it and we should be able to choose who controls it. It would be like building a really popular site and having someone come by and say "Well we should allow some other people to control it to be fair". Either way, who gives a shit who controls it?
