And ancient romans developed the paved road, and arabs invented calculus. The internet isn't something you can claim, it's perhaps the single most important cultural achievment in human history and it belongs to the people of the world, whoever funded the initial research.
I wonder if you flag wavers are also the first to jump up and make fun of Al Gore having "invented" the internet, after he was insightful enough to help direct some of those tax dollars towards this research.
