European Union Asks US To Free ICANN
An anonymous reader writes "Viviane Reding, Information Society Commissioner of the European Union, is calling for the United States to hand over control of ICANN (Internet Corporation For Assigned Names and Numbers). She said that the organization running ICANN needs be free of control by a single nation, and rather controlled by a private entity and governed by multiple nations. ICANN, headquartered in Marina Del Rey, California, was created in 1998 to oversee a number of Internet related tasks. Reding said, 'In the long run, it is not defendable that the government department of only one country has oversight of an internet function which is used by hundreds of millions of people in countries all over the world.'"
I trust the US government more than I do the Euros or the, God-forbid, UN. Plus, we built it =D
Right.... because groups like the UN with controlling members from every country have done such a bang-up job.... umm... what exactly have they done again?
The Soviets were being taken over by Nazi Germany. Just like Europe was. The Chinese were being taken over by the Japanese. The Soviet Union, Europe, and Asia would all look and sound a lot different if Japan hadn't dragged the US into the war. I'm thinking things like, no Jews, with lots of German and Japanese speakers.
Try reading a history book or two.
Try denying the Holocaust in Jew York and see what happens.
Endlees conflict clear she couldn't W#hatever path is

You know, developed by the United States Military, run by Americans - you all climbed aboard the train and now you want to be the Engineer/Pilot of the thing cause since now that you got on the train it must be your train. Typical way of thinking there Bureaucrat Trash Monkeys. :P I fart in your general direction.
Enjoy your Karma, after all you earned it. Feel your Karma Joe, feel it burn.
The Soviets and Chinese accounted for 88% (yes, eight-eight percent) of all Allied military casualties.
Since when did dying stupid become a virtue?
Weren't the Soviets the first ones into Berlin?
Other than having better looking uniforms and a much lower body count, how were the Germans different from the Russians?
Making people stand, depriving them of sleep, and making them think they are drowning is not torture no matter how much the media wants you to believe it is. Now having your bones broken, having your fingernails ripped off, having people jump on your stomach, or being mutilated ... that's torture.
