Subject: Chavez is correct

When Hugo Chavez addressed the UN General Assembly he made a proposal that I have endorsed for several years:

The leftist leader told a U.N. summit on Thursday that fighting the war without U.N. authorization showed Washington did not respect the world body. He recommended moving U.N. headquarters to a country that has more regard for the organization. "That's why we propose to this assembly that the United Nations leave this country, which is not respectful of the very resolutions of this assembly," Chavez said.

The USA has a long history of not respecting UN resolutions, although it is not the least bit reluctant to cry foul when its official enemies do the same, and it has withheld payments to the world party when it didn’t obey its wishes. Chavez is correct. The UN headquarters should be moved to another nation. After all, the United States thinks nothing of bugging the phone systems of Security Council members. Nations that want to organize to reduce conflict and need in the world deserve to have their deliberations located somewhere that accords them more respect.

An example of how the USA manipulates the UN for its own purposes is best illustrated in the bone fide representatives of other nations it permits to attend UN events, which it is required to do under the UN Charter, and those it doesn’t.

2. But Where Would the UN Go?
Other than a small European nation, the Netherlands, Belgium, Scandinavia, France maybe, where would one put the UN? Perhaps near the Hague--I have a feeling the place is going to get a serious workout, if it is linked with world government.

Africa is too fragile, Asia, too tumultuous, Antarctica, too cold, and South America is too close to the US. Wouldn't that just serve the GOP right!

3. Cuba!
:)

just kidding.

I think the real answer is fast becoming " anywhere but the fascist USA".

the point is, the current administration wants to deep six the UN if they don't agree to become a rubber stamp for hegemony. Under those circumstances, the UN MUST relocate or die.
