• OK, going to try to stir up a hornets nest with this one :-)

    I have a long standing idea for handling the Palestine/Israel issue AND handling the issues of the UN being headquartered in the US…

    Move the UN headquarters to Jerusalem, declare Jerusalem to be a “Free City”  (a la Greyhawk from AD&D) under direct UN supervision/management/protection.

    This allows all 3 of the major religions that claim Jerusalem as a “holy city” to have access to it; removes control of Jerusalem from being a sticking point in Palestinian/Israeli negotiations, AND makes the UN actually put up or shut up about “peace keeping.”

    I mean, if the UN can’t manage to keep the peace in ONE city, if they are such a pathetic organization that they can;t keep their own staff alive, then they really have no point telling anyone what to do elsewhere in the world.

    And hey, if the UN survives being at “ground zero” of world terrorism, and they actually manage to administer the city well, then they will have the knowledge, skill, and experience to act elsewhere in the world.

    Not to mention that it frees up some great Commercial development space in New York :-)

    Sounds like a WIN all the way around.

    How soon can we send all those folks over there?


  • good idea :mrgreen:
