There are conflicting reports on whether the United States will stay away from the Durban II "anti-racism" conference, as the noxious fumes of anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli sentiment have already begun to waft over U.N. as the planning for the conference continues: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23039186/. It's not a surprise, given the hatred that was spewed forth at the 2001 conference, and what else should we expect given the presence of Libya and Iran on the planning committee?
Given that the conference won't take place for another 18 months or so, there is plenty of time to decide, or to change decisions that are already made. However, what I think will ultimately happen is that if it is Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama in the White House, the United States will be there. If it is John McCain, Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee, probably not. Similarly, in Canada, where the current Conservative government has already stated that it will not attend, I predict a reversal if the Liberals regain power.
