That is exactly the objection by the majority of TLD countries - they are not interested in having the US Dept of Commerce manage their TLD's - and something that is likely to change in the foreseeable future.

It may go away and blow in the wind, but the Spamhaus incident may end up as more "food" for the majority of nations who wish to manage their own TLD's.
