Let me make this clear: I would turn over control to the US government
for any network function that the law in force requires. Conversely,
no
private party or foreign entity operating by their own laws, or
outside
the law, has the right to dictate rules to any provider. The loons are
those short-sighted nerds that willingly give an inch to anyone
bullying
them on the Internet. I wouldn't give in to something like this even
outside cyberspace, out of pure conviction.

I am not sure how to read that, but what I see says ' I trust the US
government. I ignore all other jurisdictions.' ? Sorry, but while this
is NANOG, there is a whole other world out there. Including Canada to be
NA-objective about it.
