I would never have expected such jingoistic comments to be so popular. Instead of praising American law makers for taking an ineterest in the welfare of the internet and global culture, even at a theoretical risk to their own hegemony, you judge them as misguided and lament their short-sightedness?

Also, as a believer in the free market, shouldn't you welcome competition, both national and international, as a means for everyone to become better at this?
