The Expansionist
Tuesday, May 17, 2005
 
Friendlier Quarters. The New York Post is campaigning against expansion of the United Nations Headquarters in Manhattan, adamantly opposing most especially any financial aid from the government of the State of New York. The UN has made plain that if it cannot renovate and expand its present complex, it will have to consider relocating its headquarters elsewhere.

I sent the following emailed letter to the Post's editor today:

Zionist Jews and rightwing jingoists may want the United Nations to move to Geneva, Paris, or Brussels, but the bulk of Americans are proud that the United Nations chose the United States for its headquarters, and we don't want it to move elsewhere. If New York doesn't want the UN meeting alongside the East River, I'm sure my own city, Newark, NJ, would be very, very happy to have the world meet alongside the Passaic.
