Another example of why the U.N. is a joke

Thanks to Claudia Rosett writing on Forbes.com about the United Nations' Durban Review Conference (or "Durban II" as she calls it) to expose the organization's hypocrisy in ending global racism. Durban II is chaired by a Libyan ambassador who has gone on the record slamming Israel many, many times. Other nations involved in the preparatory committee include Iran, Russia, Pakistan, and Cameroon. Yes, believe it or not, these are the countries tasked to organize a conference on ending racism worldwide!

My advice is for anyone participating in any U.N. conference or meeting to wear high boots. There's so much dog-squeeze at these places that you'll need adequate protection...
