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.
