#2 Add New Zealand as well. This means that Britain is the ONLY English-speaking country sending ANY official delegation. Which doesn't make my mother-country look too good, but I figure that British Rantburg participants are well aware of this.

#4 Ahmadinejad's presence at the five-day meeting has sparked fears that it could end in acrimony, as did the previous racism conference eight years ago in Durban, South Africa.

#8 To survive the next 4 years, I may have to adopt a similar attitude toward my government, Jezbo.
