It's our internet. It's our gift to the world. If you don't like it, leave.

I'd pay cash to hear Bolton say that to these globalist DNS thugs and goons at the U.N.!!!

We've got a forum right here, the UN doesn't need another one. And, if Kofi tries to take over the internet don't worry -- Sony can shut it down overnight with a few CDs.

We need to get out of the U.N. The United Nations is responsible for the deaths of a lot of Americans. Case in point, under the oil and food program, the money was supplied to kill our boys. I personally believe that some of the money helped finance the terriorists that did 9/11 in New York. The United Nations has their hands on just about everything in this country. .

Done pretty well so far without their governance. Might keep on doing well. Might free a billion Chinese. Don't we want that, Mr. President?

Hopefully, this is a "feel-good" resolution for the whiners -- the equivalent of giving Barney Fife a bullet that he can keep in his shirt pocket to make him feel important...

Not to worry this is a non-binding forum, like the General assembly of the UN. The US, and Icann still control the addressing and all the important stuff, this is meant to shut up the euro twits, it still most likely will not work but hey we can dream!

What "injustices" are the marxists conjuring up that the USA are doing?

The Guardian printed a long whiny article that makes it clear the US has lost nothing, and not only has the EU not won anything, it looked like a wimp at Tunis:By the end, what was left was an acceptance of the status quo with promises that they would be open to reform.... Internet watchers were puzzled by the EU's backtracking...

The following sentence appears in the article. I post the sentence so all of us who are American can gasp in awe at the British command of the English language, as it is exemplified at the Guardian. See how many mistakes you can find, just for fun:

The finally wording remains to be decided but reform will have to take place in the governmental advisory committee of Icann, which plays only an advisory role.

"It is a matter of justice and legitimacy that all people must have a say in the way the Internet is governed,"

If All People created the internet, then, All People should have a say.

They didn't. They squatted in their mud huts and ate bugs while others worked and created.

We should never make the slightest concession to our enemies, because appeasement only encourages them to keep returning for more.

Why are sooooooooooooooo damn nice?

I can see it now, they'll put Mr. Mbutu Nagptwy from the Congo, along with Mohammed Osama bin Zaraqawi from the Islamic Republic of Killninfidelforallah as his Deputy Assistant in charge of it.

Their first order of business will be to either restrict, or soak the thing for cash, because its currently used by the Imperialist, First World countries for their conspicuous consumption of consumer items that affect the vast unwashed masses of humanity like Chavez's Venezuela, Kim's North Korea, Fidel's Cuba and other deserving countries like Assad's Syria and peaceful Sudan and Iran.

So basically we give the UN a debate club so that they prattle on endlessly while possessing no real power... their "governance" ends precisely where the United States says it does. For all the people screaming that Bush has signed over the Internet, I'd say they're just reading their own prejudices into the article.

Maybe the worst-case scenario would be peddle-powered green PC's.
