What are your opinions on the fact that the US foot the bill for a large portion of the construction of the UN building, we sacrificed our land for the footprint, we pay over 20% of the annual overall budget (how many countries are members of the UN?), and the building lately is used to conspire against the United States of America?
If you do not live and pay taxes in the U.S., please answer to some other forum question.
I truly believe in free speeech. But, having people that have not been allies of the U.S. since before I was born building a platform of anti U.S. mentality on our own soil seems to me like opening the chicken house door for the fox. Free speech in the United States applies TAX PAYING U.S. citizens here legally, and who are not here to undermine us.
Non U.S. , non tax paying citizens do NOT reserve the right to OUR free speech, and thusly, are subject to the same criticism they so eagerly serve up to us.

TO ANGELA M:
Please read the question before spewing a slew of idiotic comments. If you are a tax paying American, you can answer the question. Since you take offense, I assume you are not a tax paying American. If you are, then why did you not answer my question? I wish people would spend at least half as much time trying to respond to the question as they do avoiding it and coming up with an insult in response.

No, the UN building needs to be evacuated, and the delegates need to be investigated for corruption and conspiracy charges for the oil for food scandal.
The building can be used to house refugees from Katrina. How's that sound? Or we can turn it into a soup kitchen.

How can all other Nations be wrong when it comes to the perception of the US and its leader. The US makes its money too of the United Nations...all the cabs that pull up, restaurants that get used from delegates and not to mention all the toilet paper it must use.....all goes back into the US economy.

Where would you send them, to Antarctica??? Americans do not hold a monopoly on free speech, you imbecile. And no, I'm NOT a foreigner. Born and raised in the US, honey, and proud of it!
