Vern Gagne Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I'm a realist and no the US isn't leaving the UN. However, I don't think it's out of question to wonder if the UN headquarters wouldn't be better suited in a more UN friendly nation like France or Germany.
Jobber of the Week Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Exactly how are we unfriendly? Most the people who disagree with how the UN is running things aren't opposed to the ideal of a better, more unified society. The only people saying the whole thing needs to be abolished entirely are neocons. The UN survived America (and Republican deity Ronnie Reagan) VS the communists, so I don't see what they have to fear from Dumbya and right-wing radio.
kkktookmybabyaway Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Move the UN to Iraq and allow Abib to send his 20 kids into the place strapped with TNT in the name of Allah...
Guest INXS Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 I don't see any point in moving the HQ. Or any reason to do so for that matter.
2GOLD Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 They aren't moving till they pay their tab. The UN would be great if they were ran by someone with a brain. As of right now, they mean about as much as the electoral college does.
Hogan Made Wrestling Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 New york is a center for the world economy and geopolitics. It makes more sense than any other location other than maybe Switzerland, which makes sense only for its official "neutrality".

Where did I say anything about being unfriendly? I said more friendly nations, big difference. I'm also not sure where you were coming from with your post. Leaving the UN, and moving the UN are two different things.
Jobber of the Week Posted February 4, 2005 Report Posted February 4, 2005 Well, okay then. New York is a pretty heavy blue state. I don't see why they would need to move the UN Secretariat.
