webburu, well technically you do but there are some individuals who purchase the domain name because of its domain hack potential (example: youlove.us), I think the qualifier is that you are either a resident or consistantly working within the country (so a web design firm could probably get away with it if they served worldwide).

Registrars allow non-U.S. citizens to registre .us which I don't find appropriate, but it is like that. There are actually many other Domain national TLD registries that allow foreign entities to register their domains without limitations.

You'd better have a consultations with accredited domain name registrar for US. If they guarantee you that you will have no problem with that domain name as non US citizen - go ahead
Good luck
