Blowing Up The UN Extravaganza

10 of about 11293
In my second novel, "The Osterized Weekend" (Classic Press, out of print)  the action began with American  commandos blowing up the New York Times building. I'm thinking of updating and republishing it.  If I do, the opening sequence will have our heroes blowing up the UN Building.  While it's in session,  so no innocent cleaning service employess would be harmed.  This thought prompted by The top 10 UN-believable moments of 2010'
Coming in at No. 10 is the resolution to “combat defamation of religions”

At No. 9, we have an anti-Semitic classic — good old-fashioned blood libel in a session of the Human Rights Council

At No. 8, we have cheers for Hezbollah when Israel objects to Lebanon referring to it as a “Zionist entity on Palestinian territory.”

No. 7: Have you ever wondered what it might look like if the U.S. subjected itself to a peer review of its human rights record by the world’s leading violators of human rights?

But Wait ... this is easier:

I have a solution for item 3 (bedbugs). It involves a gas pumped through the ventilation system for several days. Since the UN is a vital organization, it will not be necessary to prevent delgates from working those days. In fact, they must all be encouraged to be in attendance...perhaps at gunpoint?

TheOldMan: At first I thought you were being too kind - but then I thought about it and I figured if we wired the place for video and sound, and had a pay per view (proceeds going to the Barn Army B-52 fuel fund) that it'd be ok.

As long as the gas was natural gas and we could see it lit up in a large fuel air explosion.
