Why not consider moving the United Nations HQ to another city? The US has hosted it long enough.

Several candidates come to mind for various reasons:

-Jerusalem-Bejing-London

As an alternative might be to setup a rotation base of operations, similar to the Olympic games.

I say put it in some place where they can't spend all their time double-parking their limos while they eat ridiculously priced lunches instead of actually working.

good idea, but unpractical. Do you Understand how HUGE the United Nations organization is? Do you have any clue?

Regarding the size of the United Nations HQ, it is not so big as it is symbolic.

However, the entire United Nations itself is certainly one big bureaucracy!

You can relocate them to the moon as far as I'm concerned. The moon offers a much better view of the world, they'll be able to see "the big picture" and they'll finally have a winning excuse for doing nothing. But seriously, I suggest rotating the UN HQ between third-world dictatorships, or to places with serious health, poverty, starvation issues, etc. Anything to get them to do something, anything, for the people they're supposed to care for.

I'm for it, but not because the US has "hosted" it for too long. I think we've been in it for too long. Let's pull ourselves out, let the organization move to Belgium or wherever it wants, and we can begin setting up a more legitimate body comprised of democratic republics.

That is stupid, to pull out US from UN. United Nations should be United. And one more thing, „begin setting up a more legitimate body comprised of democratic republics”, Aha. STUPID, STUPID. Not all countries in the world are democratic, and not all are even republics. Also if you start to set up more LEGITIMATE body, how legit would it be if the US is the only member !? True, it would grant the US to continue with its atrocities around the world. In that tone I fully support the founding of International War Crime tribunal without the exclusion of US (as was requested, not requested, commanded) personal.

I like previous idea to rotate the HQ to places where it is needed.
