I agree, but think about this for a moment.  It's technically possible for a non-governmental international community to "seize" "property" from a government.  And not just any government, arguably the most powerful government in the world right now.  I agree that it would be a bad idea, but the fact that we can seriously have a discussion about this, and it's actually possible for a community to say, "Uh, no, you can't just take those", is truly remarkable, I think.
