Dubai invites United Nations to set up headquarters
Gulf News ^ | 16:34 January 14, 2010 | WAM

Dubai: The government of Dubai on Thursday announced that it is fully prepared to host the headquarters of the United Nations if its officials decide to move from New York where the organisation is currently located.

According to an official source in the Dubai government, the announcement was made in light of the UAE's — and Dubai's — appreciation of the vital role the United Nations plays in all areas, and in the protection of international peace and security and economic development in particular.

The source said Dubai welcomes dialogue with UN officials to provide them with full information on the capabilities which the emirate can provide and which could make it the optimal choice as the new seat of the UN headquarters if a final decision is taken to move out of New York.

Among the capabilities which Dubai possesses are suitable geographical location and world-class infrastructure and air, land and sea transport systems which make the emirate an easily accessible meeting point in the middle of the world, noted the source.

Dubai's offer is part of efforts the UAE is making to assume its full role as a responsible and effective member of the international community and to find alternatives to contribute to stronger international joint actions.

Don't let the door hit you... etc., etc., etc.

But this scenario reminds me of something from Joel Rosenburg's novel ...

Perfect place for the Useless Nations.

Let Duabi and the rest pay all their dues too.

Relocate them, then pull the U.S. out.

UNaccountable bureaucrats should be given a one-way ticket to Haiti. Let’s see what civilization they can build on a small scale.

AND stop paying for it. I’m sure the muzzie rats that now run the UN would be more than happy to move to a muzzie country as long as the US keeps paying the lion’s share.

Break all ties with the disgusting, incompetent child rapists.

Then rename the organization.

Maybe something like...

“League of Nations”.

Dubai has built a whole Manhattan sized city of brand new skyskrapers. They have no tenants and are facing bankruptcy.
