The More Things Change, The More They Stay The Same

When the US delegation walked out of the last big world racism conference in Durban, South Africa in September 2001, this was seen then (and later) as another instance of the reckless Bush Administration alienating the US from the rest of the world--and further evidence of the powerful "Jewish Lobby" in the United States.

Now the UN is looking to hold another big shindig on race in Geneva, and guess what? The US is threatening not to come. Why? Well, just as it was in 2001, the forum is being hijacked by the Islamic world and its enablers and is being turned into yet another UN sanctioned forum for piling on Israel.

I applaud the Obama Administration for its stance, and I hope it follows through on its threat if this conference cannot be brought to its senses.
