What a load of s(*)... Let me remind you that the Internet is a net
made up of servers in MANY countries all over the world. The US or any
other country does not MANDATE anything. There is NO Internet
Constitution, but rather a voluntary Netiquette.

Sure, if two people are in a SAME country and do something that is
considered a crime, the government might go after those people. But
there's simply NO WAY the FBI or the CIA or any institution for that
matter would go after someone in Australia. First, they are forbidden
by international laws. Second, the US would be knee deep in horse s(*)
if they decided to go get someone in another country without the
consent of that country's government.

I am f(*)ing tired of that "we are the world" way of thinking of many
Americans. Not that everyone is so narrow-minded, THANKS GOD. There
are many bright and conscious folks out there. Yet, it really amazes
me to see that there are some people out there who - living in a
country where many young find it hard to spell or count, where youth
considers reading and school boring, where politicians talk about
cutting down education funds and increasing military spending, where
people such as Pat Buchanan can become front runners and where books
are completely replaced by stupid TV programs by many - can actually
think of themselves as "owners of the world." Right down PATHETIC.
