U.N. Forbids U.S. to Clean Up New Orleans Ghettoes
The same United Nations that put the socialist basket case Zimbabwe in charge of the Sustainable Development Commission has seen fit to tell Americans how we should run our country, condemning us for trying to clean up ghettoes:
Two human rights experts for the United Nations on Thursday criticized a federal plan to raze public housing projects in New Orleans, saying it will force the predominantly black residents into homelessness.
New Orleans advocates clamoring to save 4,500 public housing units claimed a victory. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, which wants to replace the decades-old housing projects with mixed-income, mixed-use development, called the U.N. experts "misinformed."
"Misinformed" might be the kindest adjective that can be applied to the United Nations.
What the U.N. really needs is its own country to run, to show us all how well its enlightened leftist principles would work. Since it knows just what to do with New Orleans, why not turn the city over to U.N. jurisdiction? They can have Detroit too. That way the residents would no longer be oppressed by capitalism — though they would still no doubt live off money expropriated from hard-working Americans.
On a tip from Sean M.

Good idea to give the United Nincompoops a country of their own. Are there any islands within the Bermuda Triangle? I'm willing to donate to the cause.

Its stupid to move people back into below sea level areas of New Orleans. No matter how good the levee system is, all it takes is one weak spot and its Katrina all over again. Do people never learn? The land is sinking! Nature has told us NOT to build houses there. Why wont people listen?
These flooded areas should be left as is and used as movie sets for post apoclyptic movies or something like that and the money used to resettle people on high ground.

I hope they do move back, and save the areas they currently occupy from the crime they brought with them.
10,000 at the bottom of the ocean is a start.

Hmmm... considering ALGORE's line of thinking that the ocean's gonna rise and swallow low-lying areas like this because of global warming... isn't the idea of living in New Orleans a bad one anyways? Just a thought...

The only thing that saddens me about New Orleans is that with giving it up, we give up a big chunk of history. There is much there that is part of who we were as a nation from the beginning. Sea walls put in place, even 20 years ago, would have helped. Now it is taken over by people who just don't care. It's very sad, but...I like the idea of giving to the UN along with Detroit. If they want more, through in Cleveland... nobody will miss it! LOL!!!

throw... not through... geez!
Also, keep Cleveland and let's just throw in Beserkeley, CA or the whole Bay Area!!!!

We can't give up Cleveland, LeBron finally got teammates.
Give them a year and then let the BlueHelmets get the mistake.

Q: How do you know you're living in a bad neighborhood?
A: When you can look UP and watch the barges go by.
