To Switzerland. The biggest mistake Truman made was allowing the building of UN headquarters in NYC. Should have moved into the old League quarters.

UN Army would collapse onto itself burdened by so much regulatory crap... "file form U-F194 for firing a rifle under x circumstances"

No, the bigger mistake was getting the U.S. into the U.N. in the first place.  GET US OUT NOW!

actually, a friend of mine (a retired Swiss COL) from SZ says that FDR promised the Swiss that the UN would be HQed in SZ if the Swiss would build the buildings. they DID & then Truman chose to have them in NYC.

Heinrich says the Swiss have NOT forgotten this slight on their national pride and the $$$$$$$$$$$ they spent on the facilities.

i propose that we ship the UN to them, lock/stock/barrel, and then "forget" to send anyone/$$$$$$$ to the UN.
