Wouldn't this simply change the focus of who can attack from the USG (which, as far as I am aware, has not attacked the root) to some other government (or worse, the UN)? Given a handle, folks are going to want to grab it when they feel a need to control, regardless of who the folks are. It'd be nice to remove the handle, but that appears to be a very hard problem...
