Is the .to (Tonga) domain completely rogue and should be removed?

That's for the owners of the TLD to decide, isn't it?  Who are you or I to
determine what is and is not in the interests of the Kingdom of Tonga?  For
example, can you tell me with absolute certainty that the porn sites you're
complaining about aren't in fact funded and operated by the government,
with the profits of these operations going into government coffers?  Just
'cause that kind of thing is incomprehensible in the United States doesn't
mean that it can't, or even shouldn't, happen.
