Move Israel to Europe? Let's Relocate Other Countries Too!

Iran's America-hating, Israel-bashing president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Thursday that if Germany and Austria feel responsible for massacring Jews during World War II, they should move the state of Israel to Germany or Austria.  (CNN)

I had no idea that entire countries full of people could just be picked up and “moved” from place to place.

But now that the idea is on the table, here are some ideas for other countries to relocate:

Nation	Move To	Reason
Greenland	Jamaica	Warmer climate will do them good
North Korea	Iran	Consolidates the axis of evil
China	Solomon Islands	Just to see if they can fit all 1 billion people
Iraq	Fiji	More pleasant place for U.S. soldiers to fight
Japan	Ireland	Should produce interesting accents
India	Pakistan	Let them fight it out once and for all
Mexico	United States	Never mind -- we're already doing this

Gina,
I enjoyed your list of which countries could relocate. I read of a poll where 40% of Mexicans who are still there would rather live in the U.S., so perhaps it's not hard to convince people to move after all.
Best wishes,
Ted

In your list of moving people, moving India to Pakistan just to let them fight it out once and for all shows how much respect you Americans have for humans outside of the your country's borders.
Enjoy !!!

Vinod,

A. It's a joke. Did you notice that it is tagged "Humor"?
B. The joke doesn't attack anyone in India or Pakistan. Nobody who reads my writing seriously thinks I harbor ill will toward innocent men, women and children in foreign lands. I save my ill will for terrorists and tyrants who do try to harm innocent men, women and children.
C. By the way, in seriously (not jokingly) criticizing all Americans as a group (calling them "you Americans"), how much respect are YOU showing to an entire nation of people who live outside YOUR borders?

I loved this. It is funny that you just posted this. I just read on the internet that the president of the maldives is looking to relocate his entire nation before his country sinks. He is setting aside One Billion Dollars a Year. I wonder where he will choose. It must be terrible when ones country is sinking - geographically I mean.
