According to the New York Sun article excerpted above, the UN building needs badly to be refurbished and reconstructed. In my opinion, Senator Charles Schumer, Democratic Senator from New York (and heretofore a staunch supporter of Israel) is asking the wrong question. The questions should be:
- How do we ensure the building's and UN's rapid demise;
- How do we ensure that the Ambassadors from the US, Canada, Israel, Australia, UK and other worthwhile countries are not inside, but the pond scum that jet sets on their countries' meager resources while their people die of horrid diseases are inside; and
- How should the US, Japan, Canada and other countries spend the moneys freed up from supporting dictators, murderers and thieves.
The question should not be how the rebuilding of the UN is funded; it should be whether to fund an orderly implosion of the structure, or let it tumble down, while in full use and full of some of the world's most wicked and depraved people.
If you read the article, you'll see that even the rebuilding effort will be the target of greedy politicians sent to the UN on cushy budgets, to spend time in New York rather than such garden spots as Kinshasa, Zaire.

It ain't the building, Chuckie.
It's the residents.

The USA and Japan need to start pulling rank in this monetary fiasco called the UN.

The UN building should be bulldozed for the safety of New Yorkers and all Americans. It should not be rebuilt. The organization should be offered tents to meet in on the rubble until a new building can be built in Ulan Bator.

The UN building is rotting from within, just like the UN itself.
Move the UN to Haiti.

He's right. It's been a danger for 60 years. It's just an office building for thugs and dictators.
If I were mayor, I'd turn off power and water.

The U.S. government should take back the land, get rid of the building and build a beautiful East Side park.

Gotta' love that Schumer some times ~ it's not that the UN building is a danger to its inhabitants, or even that it's loss might put a kink into world peace ~ no, with Chuckie it's that the nearby inhabitants, his constituents, might be affected negatively by the asbestos dust blowing out of the debris.

The UN building is deteriorating rapidly...
The debate team should schedule to draft reolution to address the problem no sooner that 2014.

If this were owned by a private company there would be so many violations the government could close it down,
Is that supposed to be a bad thing?
