Germany doesn’t seem to give a wet fart on a dry January Monday what the UN thinks.  From Moonbattery:

Germany’s sovereignty survived the loss of two world wars. Let’s hope it can endure the U.N.’s endless grasping for control.

With the approval of its residents, Dresden is building a bridge across the Elbe to ease traffic congestion. Bureauweenie Francesco Bandarin of the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization is enraged.

Earlier this year, UNESCO rejected a revised bridge design presented by Dresden, arguing that any bridge in the city’s famed Elbe River Valley would destroy the landscape and ruin the views of Dresden’s famous landmarks. UNESCO says the only acceptable solution is for Dresden to build a tunnel under the river.

Bandarin said unless Dresden immediately halted work on the bridge, it was impossible to seek any compromises. Bandarin also urged politicians in Dresden and the state of Saxony to hold a second referendum on the issue, even if it took two years to realize it.

If it doesn’t stop being impertinent and obey the will of the world community as decreed by U.N. chair-warmers, Dresden will lose its allegedly precious World Heritage status.

Worse things have happened to the city.

I’d love to see the Useless Nations try that crap in America to see how our leftist legislators respond.
