September 28, 2005, 8:10 a.m. World Wide (Web) Takeover The United Nations wants the Internet.
By Carlos Ramos-Mrosovsky & Joseph Barillari (EXCERPT)
Surrendering the Internet might also increase America's vulnerability to online security threats. It could be difficult to guard against cyber-terrorism or to pursue terrorists online, if the Internet were under the supervision of a body unsure of what terrorism is, but quite sure that it does not like the United States.
Although the Bush administration will not relinquish U.S. oversight of the Internet, a future president may be more willing to make this seemingly small concession to curry favor with internationalist elites or supposed strategic partners. As with the Kyoto Protocol or the International Criminal Court, Washington's refusal to bend to the "international community" over the Internet might be magnified into another gleefully touted example of American arrogance. America's rivals, less constrained by electoral cycles, tend to view foreign policy over the longer term.
They are willing to wait. If we are to preserve the Internet as we know it, the Bush administration must take steps to foreclose the possibility of it ever becoming the plaything of dictators.

You can BET YOUR LIFE that this is on Hitlery's or Kerry's list of thing TO DO TO AMERICA!!!
God help us -- the U.N. cannot even change its own underware without corruption, weakness, and collusion.
"From my col dead fingers.."...
To quote Reagan, "We built it, we paid for it, it's ours."
Do you have inside info that this is a done deal?
Do you think Al Gore would allow that to happen to his invention?
I wonder what the lefty cyberfanatics think about this...
You can have my mouse when.....
But we all trust the UN. They would never abuse their power!
John Bolton PING.
"The United Nations wants the Internet."
Not only NO, but H#&& NO!!!
The Marxist-terrorist alliance don't want to be hampered by the U.S. being able to trace their online communications.
They can have it when they pry my cold dead fingers of my mouse!
Another network can pop-up almost as quickly as some slimeball politician can give this one away. The internet is nothing but a bunch of perverted foriegn porn without US support and participation.
The DOD and American universities built the skeleton (the old ARPAnet), and American companies and universities put most of the flesh on the bones (with help from Japan and Western Europe and maybe Russia, if you count on-line instantiations of Tetris). The UN can bugger off. If the Third World thugs whose representatives form the 'majority' there don't like it, they can lead their people back to the 1970's or the dark ages. The Internet is ours!
Look for President Geena Davis to make it so the next episode of "Commander in Chief".
Sounds like you know your stuff.
I sure hope so.
