Your reasoning is almost as bad as your politics. 35 Countries joined the United States in teaching Iraq and the UN what "serious consequences" are. A lesson Kofi's spineless, corrupt bureaucrats were too busy (taking money for oil under the table) to learn otherwise. Maybe reading some additional wikipedia articles would help:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalition_of_the_Willing and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_for_Food_Scandal.
UN representatives would rather starve Iraqi children than judiciously and transparently administer a program laid to their trust as long as it meant they could line their pockets with Saddam's cash and keep living the high life in New York.
These are the guys you want managing your DNS and deciding if your .com is available? I sure as hell don't. The US created the internet and our economy depends on it. Giving up control of the addressing infrastructure is technologicially exactly what the inventor of BIND says it is: "hair brained". Economically it is nothing short of suicidal surrender.
