First, this would kill businesses and hurt everyone's economy. As much as other countries want control of the net, they simply have no choice. This may not be what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Everyone will suffer.
As for who I think should control it, the US. It's not really a pride thing or the fact I'm American. We built it and we should be able to choose who controls it. It would be like building a really popular site and having someone come by and say "Well we should allow some other people to control it to be fair".
Either way, who gives a shit who controls it?

No comparison to any site. If the US wants to have the benefits of trading internationally and use other countries as an arm via the net - they obviously have to agree on "something". It's that simple. The choice, (not that it's even on the cards), is that other countries group and form their own DNS authority - not exactly difficult.
