Obama and Durban II

The State Department, probably using a holiday weekend as the best time to announce scurrilous decisions, has just said it will participate in the preparations for the UN antisemitic hate-fest, Durban II. (Thanks to CNS News).

Technically, the statement said that the United States will decide whether to attend the conference, "depending on the results we see from the negotiating process." New UN ambassador Susan Rice apparently argued strongly for this position. With Libya, Iran, Pakistan and Cuba at the head of the Durban II negotiating process, you'll probably need a microscope to find any improvements she's likely to make.

My last post on Durban II included a link to a petition calling on the United States to boycott the conference. Canada and Israel have already announced that they will not attend; we need to join them.
