and I think most people know it. We pay the most dues, we offered up the land it sits on. We always supply the largest contingent of troops on any UN mission.We take all kinds of grief from little nothing countries and for what, to be abused, maligned and slandered by some of the most corrupt countries on earth.
Recently, the great wonderful nation of Libya has been nominated to be the chair of the UN committee for Human Rights violations. Now come on and tell me that these terrorists deserve the post? I think not!
Of course my most powerful reason for the UN is also the most selfish. My building is just a few blocks from there and we are across the street from the Waldorf where a lot of the delegates camp out whenever they come to town to play. All hell breaks loose everytime they come. The secret service swarms all over the building, they close down our loading dock. They throw concrete barriers all over the streets. We can't even get the garbage emptied because they insist on inspecting the truck before it backs into the dock. In short it is just a plain nuisance. Why can't they put the UN in some little European country that needs the economic stimulus. The UN delegates here are rude and scofflaws. They are some of the worst drivers I've ever seen, even worse that New Jersey drivers. Who needs them?

So as far as I am concerned, you can move the UN to Finland or other equally inaccessible place and with the US out of it.
