I don't see an ethical problem, but I see big logistic problems... There's no way to determine who's coming from where all the time. If you block .com/.org/.net visitors, you'll block a lot of non-us folks too. Not to mention, I know our site gets a significant handful of visitors from unresolved IPs, which means you'd also be allowing some US visitors at the same time.

I don't see any reason why you *shouldn't* do it... but I don't see any really effective way that you *could* do it either.
