I have a user table which will hold address information for a user. My problem 
comes in where different countries use different things for their address. 
Should I store all this different info in different columns, and leave them to 
allow NULL values, and let the processing page handle things and put stuff 
where it belongs?

IE:


The US has...

cities
States
Zip Codes

In say the UK it has...

towns/cities 
counties
Postal Code

In Algeria...

City
State/Province/Region
Postal Code
