>Governments have the right to assign to themselves any telephone number they wish, and reserve ranges of phone numbers for themselves, therefore it makes sense that they can do the same to domain names.
What if America assigns themselves a.com and Australia also assigns themselves a.com ? Only one can prevail. There needs to be some higher power to determine whose demand wins.

This one's easy; the US owns .com and Australia doesn't, so obviously the US will win. This makes it pretty mysterious why France would have a claim on a .com domain, though. They own .fr, not .com.
