This may be why the UN will likely not endorse war against Iraq.

I'm all for a new UN HQ - if it's tents in North Dakota

If you must put them on a praire somewhere, how about in tents somewhere on the Serengeti of Africa? Failing that, the steppes of the Ukraine. I'd say the Pampas of Argentina, but that's too close. Mongolia would also be an excellent choice.

~~~ read somewhere a while back that the U.N. has "custody" of Iraq's "Oil for Food" bank account & is making quite a bit of interest, etc., for administering the account. You might also want to look at that. ~~~

Interesting, Amelia. I had not heard that. MOST interesting in fact. I wonder WHERE, or in WHICH offshore location this acct is 'banked'.

[Kay Soze]

Excellent Observation.

Actually, my guarantee would be a negative guarantee: "If you idiots hold up this resolution another day, we're walking out, and the UN becomes just another private organization under US law. Y'all get to pay parking tickets and property taxes."

Now your talking but i would still give them an eviction notice

[Poohbah]

F*** the eviction notice, just dun 'em for back taxes. I don't mind them being in this country per se, I just want 'em to cough up!

That I don't know, but there was a thread here on it 2-3 weeks ago.

[reformedliberal]

Way too close to me. No thanks! Get them the hell out of the USA!

If what you say is true, then the UN is finished, and will thrown out of NYC.
