RE: Global HIGH Security Risk

Given that the vast majority of traffic is web based and email which rely
on
the DNS system, much of the Internet would disappear quickly, even though
the routes themselves would still exist. 

But still, there are also rootservers in Sweden, Japan and the UK (source:
http://www.root-servers.org/ ), so correct me if I am wrong here, but: if
the US were to decide to take down the net, wouldn't it merely slow down
instead of dissapearing completely?
