I translate a comment in a German newspaper, it is spot on.

That Iran'S president Ahmadinejad will abuse the conference as a platform for his propaganda, perfectly illustrates the true character of this event. Since years already, authoritarian regimes in Africa, Asia and Latin America and before all others: the Islamic world, abuse the maxim of "fighting against racism" in order to distract from their own systematic ignoring of most basic human rights, and to put the much hated western democracies in the dock, claiming an alleged rape of cultural and religious rights.

Like the first UN-anti-racism-confernce in Durban 2001, the second meeting in Geneva primarily and before anythign else serves this sole purpose - even if this time no one-sided condemning of Israel and no verbal formulation of "criticism of Islam equals racism" would make their way into the final document. But only just the EU diplomats could counter the Iraniahn intention to see the reminding of the Jewish holocaust being deleted from the draft.

This will not stop Ahmadinejad to repeat his rabble-rousing against the Jewish state and his relativising of the holocaust. what one has to think of the "anti-racism" of Arab states, one learned just short time ago at the summit of the Arab League in Quatar. While one was busy to vie each other in condemning alleged Israeli war crimes, one was giving a warm and wholeheartly welcome to Sudanese dictator Al Bashir who is beeing sought with international warrant. Al Bashir is responsible for one of the worst actual racist crimes today: the genocide in Darfhur that takes place since 2003, (where islamic militias kill black natives of Christian and other faith by hundreds of thousands, Skybird).

"Anti-racism-conferences" like the one in Geneva, where racist crimes are not allowed to be mentioned when they have been committed by states like Lybia, Iran and Cuba, are nothing but a bad farce. The same is true of the human Rights council, who was organising the conference and where the biggest human rights violators of the present are in command, making utter mockery of it. western democracies that participate in such conferences and institutions, by that make acceptable the attempt of anti-western ideologists to reverse the fight against racism into it'S complete opposite.

And from another sources, this short excerpt:

Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said the failure of the EU to agree on a common position was a huge disappointment. "Going there and acting as a silent witness does not pay in the end: you only risk becoming complicit in it," he said.

I want to add that a UN secretary who all to willingly allows himself to be abused for these human-rights-violating, pro-Islamic, anti-Western agendas, and who accepts to be harnessed in front of the wagon of these ideologic arsonists, is neither morally nor intellectually in a position to criticise countries like Germany or the US for not participating in this hoax, and only illustrates what a poor way of thinking he practices when expressing how sorry he feels that these countries have not come. A new low in the respectability of this poor little fella.
