Isn't it funny when THEY need something. We are the first ones on their list. If they hate us so much, then they need to fund their own restoration. Or at least divide the total amount between all the members evenly. Hell the best idea I can think of is to put a condemned sign on the building and tell them they got 60 days to vacate. Tear it down and put in a nice park.

Screw it! Let them move to France. Let the French deal with the scumbag diplomatic corps for a while.

Well, considering the UN itself is worthless, it's only fitting that they reside in a decrepit building. I say let the damned thing rot to the ground. Maybe then they'll get the hint as to how irrelevent they are.

Kofi you're a fucking fool !

It's falling apart alright... from within.

The thought "here's a quarter, call........"
comes to mind.

I do like the idea about moving it to France though.

I think that we should at least foot the bill for the demolition of the current building...

Let it fall apart, the U.N. is worthless anyway.

Good...

Let them move in with NATO in Brussels.

Both are about as useless as tits on a boar hog...

I'll help out with the renovations.

I think that the US [b]should[/b] finance the reconstruction. $1.2B is cheap for the prime piece of land that the UN complex occupies. So, I propose that the US float the loan, on the condition that the complex is offered as collateral. Miss one payment and the buildings are ours. Evict the tenant and rent the space out as offices and apartments. I don't know how much potential rentable square footage the UN building has, but at $125/rsf/yr, it shouldn't take too long to recoup the $600M interest.

Trouble is, though, that the US hasn't got the [i]cajones[/i] to stand up to the UN. Never has, never will.

What do they need a HQ building for anyway? They should be having meetings at the Holiday Inn. Hell, the management staff at the last few motels I've been in look like the UN anyway.

The Loizeaux family would do a fine job with the renovation: [url]www.controlled-demolition.com/[/url] [:D]

Let the Rockefeller Foundation pay the bill, or even better, build them a new one in Canada.

As Natalie Mains would say--->FYUN

Let Ted Turner fix it.

One regret I have about 9/11 is that the assholes didn't fly into the UN building. Fewer Americans would have died, and perhaps some GOOD might have come of it.

I guess Al-Qaeda knew that, considering their actual operation...

Bastages......

I think a wealthy socialist country should pay the bill in Renovations. They are after all superior to a capitalist system anyway...right? Perhaps Britian. their dollar is worth more then ours anywhoo. and were having troubles with our economy right now.

[i]And the problems go far beyond the need for a new paint job. Jon Clarkson, program director of the capital master plan, pointed out that dangerous materials are being inhaled by everyone in the buildings.[/i]

they're breakin' my heart
