Finally, the right decision

The United States and Israel have apparently decided at long last to boycott the U.N.'s 2009 "anti-racism conference", known more commonly as Durban II: http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/971779.html. Canada had announced long ago that it would not attend, as this conference has all the hallmarks of being an even bigger anti-Israel, anti-American hatefest than was the 2001 conference. It should never have taken the Americans or Israelis this long to make a decision that required no thought at all. Then again, with the current leadership in Israel and Condi "The Queen of Appeasement" Rice running the show here, maybe I should be more surprised that the right decision was made at all. Of course, there is still plenty of time for Israel and the United States to get it wrong, and you can be sure that none of the European countries will follow suit.
