Stardate 20010903.2013 (On Screen): So the US representatives at the UN Conference on Racism have walked out, on orders from Secretary of State Colin Powell. And, of course, all the people who wanted to take advantage of the US presence are now pissed off. Amnesty International spokesman Maya Catsanis says, "By walking out in the middle of the conference, the US is letting down the victims of racism on all sides." I don't agree. The victims of racism were let down by the people who are hijacking the conference in the service of their political agendas. If nothing was going to be accomplished at that conference anyway which would benefit those victims, then there was no point in the US continuing to participate. (discuss)
