In a world of million-zombie botnets, amplification is merely icing on the cake. > the internet is extra-legal because it is extra-national. While I would agree that national laws do not apply outside of national boundaries (Predator drones not withstanding), pragmatically speaking, in the face of a massive infrastructure outage caused by an attack facilitated by spoofed addresses, I suspect the distinction you are making isn't going to be made by lawmakers. More to the point, I suspect such nationally-based laws would actually have a positive impact: it would force spoofing to move from domestic circuits to international circuits where the situation is slightly different. However, I don't think this is really all that related to dns-operations...
