com.ar, is not google.ar or google.com or google

It's Google. Like "www.google.co.uk" is for UK.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ar (and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.uk )

I thought the same at first, but is Argentina doing something abnormal with .co.ar and .com.ar? According to this: http://www.nic.ar/ google.com.ar IS registered to Google. www.com.ar looks to be an ISP?

How is it "abnormal" to keep the same hierarchy as the main hierarchy? The countries that mix everything like .es tend to lose some vital functionality.

Also with all its deficiencies, the Argentinean NIC is free, as in free beer.
