Actually, I think you've got it backwards. .us and all of the other
country-specific TLDs are the last vestiges of nationalism. The
Internet is only the second piece of truly global infrastructure. As
a key component in the ongoing trend towards a unified global
administration, we should do what we can to encourage cooperation and
equality across borders, not intensify their differences.
