Well, the single biggest spammer is in America, so it will apply to him. Now bearing in mind, the vast majority of spam is sent from about 20 people, you don't need to stop that many to stop the flood. There is already anti-spam laws in the EU, so if the US also creates an anti-spam law, it means that:
a) EU and the US can work together to stop the flow of spam from both the EU and the US.
b) Other countries can introduce anti-spam laws that and can also then work with the EU and the US, in applying a legal response to a problem that affects everyone on the 'Net. The lawyers and the judges can't stop this themselves, and neither can the network/system admins. The two parts have to work together on this problem, since it is not purely a legal problem or purely a technical problem.

The real question about an anti-spam law is can it be used againist an American or European who is operating from (US/EU) but is using servers in outer Mongolia to distribute spam.
