Ok someone tell me why did the United States under Obama pulled out of Durban Review Conference (UN anti-racism conference)
and looking like a fat spoilt brat taking his bat and ball and going home?
I am not aware of the political spin from the Obama Administration, but as leader of the free world you have to be there to persuade the lesser democracies of their erroneous ways !!
Surely !!
This is a analysis piece countering a right-wing blog/commentator, a person who is NEVER sorry that his forefathers could commit genocide on an indigenous nation.
And has been attacking aborigines and refugees, every chance he gets.
Andrew bolt in racist heaven as Rudd pulls out of Durban Review Conference (UN anti-racism conference)
Andrew Bolt is having orgasms over the fact that he (the Master Fellatio Artist, i mean Orator) finally swayed the Socialist Kevin747 NOT to attended the Durban Review Conference (United Nations anti-racism conference in Geneva). What a Coup
http://blogs.news.com.au/...
The right decision, albeit made later than it should have been:
The Australian Government has decided not to attend a United Nations anti-racism conference in Geneva this week.
The Durban Review Conference is supposed to work towards reducing racism, xenophobia and discrimination. But it has been mired in controversy since the 2001 meeting saw Israel and the US walk out over anti-Semitic comments made by some delegates.
Foreign Minister Stephen Smith says he has decided not to go to the conference because he is concerned it will again be used to air offensive views.
"Regrettably, we cannot be confident that the review conference will not again be used as a platform to air offensive views, including anti-Semitic views," he said in a statement. "Of additional concern are the suggestions of some delegations in the Durban process to limit the universal right to free speech."
It says something sick about the UN that a conference to fight racism is actually a conference to promote it. So what was Australia waiting for before finally pulling out of a farce it should have repudiated many weeks earlier? Here’s an announcement for the day before:
The United States will boycott next week’s United Nations conference on racism in Geneva because of "objectionable" language in the meeting’s final document, the U.S. State Department said on Saturday.
Kevin Rudd hoped to make his stand (and placate a furious Jewish consituency) only after others had made it first, in the hope that he’d thus be forgiven more easily by the African and Middle Eastern countries that he’ll need for his UN ambitions.
The truth is that the Rudd government is afraid to show their ugly racist faces against countries that have received and/or have known of complaints against Australia of Human Rights violations and racism against HREOC and president John von Doussa, the Australian judiciary and the High Court Australia.

- The sad fact is that these conferences are run by countries that do have racist views, against at least one particular country;
- however, probably in retaliation to the second sad fact that the UN Treaties Committees are run by the United States, its 51st state Canada, and its wannabes states like Australia (52nd state) and Italy (who incidentally has been on the wrong side of just about every war).
As noted here, the former High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour (canadian) has been branded a warcriminal for covering up assassination of African leaders; exposed by Australian investigators NO LESS.

Those were the days of a young Nation trying to find its feet in international arena, and trying the lead by example and by values.
Now recently under little Johnnie Howard and Kevin747 they follow, what a sad sight to behold.
NB. there are some nice discussion on Bolt's Blog regarding free speech and freidrich Toben. But i wonder if they will post our replies LOL ^^
