ktc,
re: "Computer and internet security in an international environment is a very complex issue."
This is the topic I am currently studying. I'm pursuing a CISSP (comparable in difficulty to a CPA) certification, hopefully this year.
And you are right. It's very complex. It's disturbing how vulnerable today's systems are. I've only seen the tip of the iceberg, but I think I could already hack into most systems.
I do *NOT* want the United Nations regulating the internet. It would, effectively, establish a 'Big Brother' with unAmerican values who could monitor and control every aspect of our lives.
We're headed in that direction anyway, but I want the slide to continue moving relatively SLOWLY.
