The other option is not giving it over to some random country. As I understand it, the other option would be giving the assignment of top-level domains to ITU or some similar agency within UN, which would then delegate .gov and .mil and other things to US.

The same people who would have problems with "some random country" would have even more problems with the UN.

I'm generally less critical of the UN, but I would agree that the UN is pretty much the last body that should be invested with any sorts of power.
