#2 Next defund the UN.

Actually, before that happens, I'd like to see the U.S. contingent in Kosovo pulled out next, regardless of any separate agreement regarding immunity from ICC prosecution, just to make sure the message is nice and clear.

#5 "This sounds like an excuse to pull a few U.S. personnel out of U.N. peacekeeping missions, not because they are at any risk, but to make an ideological point," said Richard Dicker.

Well at least you ain't stupid, Dick Dickhead.

I once knew a guy named Richard Holder. Now that name must have been hell in HS.

That's why he grew up and joined the International Justice Program at Human Rights Watch. Oh the humanity...

But first, move it to Paris.

#12 Paris is good, badanov. Let's keep the nominations going to get the most bang for our buck. I vote for Warsaw-Chirac would be livid.

#13 Really want to make Chirac's head explode? Move the UN to Ankara

#14 I would move the UN to the site of one of its great successes.

Perhaps Rawanda? Or Sebrenica? How about Gaza?

Something farther east, like the Korean DMZ?

#15 Spot on, Jackal. I vote for Rwanda. Just think of how much the cash infusion would help that country.

Of course, the UN would probably refuse to go there while the security situation is so dangerous - guess they could hang out in Geneva until it improved.

#16 Excellent choice Jackal. Even better then my own: Right dab in the middle of the largest mass grave in Iraq (with parking restricted to outside the mass grave...)

(Or perhaps one of those burned-out villages in western Sudan....).
