I wouldn't recommend that. They will receive our routing and then their 
ip-packets will still get here - and we will all experience something very 
nasty.... It's pretty close to SYN-flooding.

What should be done is to have our transit operators stop announcing
our networks to AGIS/IEMMC. Then they will not get their packets over
the atlantic and we wouldn't have to bother.

But they will probably set other american hosts as relays and go from
there...
