Fionn: You may be right about the UN and the WTC in NYC (and you're definitely right that we agree on a lot of things! *G*). My quip about NYC had been in response to the statement by Troll, who said: "Until the question of who controls Jerusalem is settled, there will be no peace in the region. I suggest that the UN move its headquarters there and declare it an international city under UN governance."

Maybe Troll is right that Jerusalem needs to become an "international city" (are there any others in existence now under UN governance? Can the UN actually "govern" anyplace, under its charter?). My point was that, even so, the situation in the surrounding area wouldn't change.
