Stardate 20011026.1817 (On Screen): The conference on Racism which was held in South Africa ultimately fell apart because it wasn't possible to get consensus on what "racism" is. Everyone wanted to make sure that their enemies were declared as racists, but no-one wanted to admit to being a racist. Now another UN converence has failed for exactly the same reason: no-one can agree what a "terrorist" is. It's hardly surprising; it's almost a foregone conclusion that such a conference would fail; I hardly understand why they even bothered.
