U.N. Plans extra-special conference on racism

Extra-special because the UN has delegated its planning to Libya, who will arrange special seminars in finger-wagging and tongue-clucking. But that's not all:

In its new role as antiracism fighter, Tripoli will be assisted by Holocaust-denying Iran. Tehran's appointment as one of 20 panelists is particularly noteworthy, since the U.N.'s own general assembly formally condemned Iran last December for its oppression and racism.

This is the successor to the 2001 Durban anti-racism conference, which I remember well for its bright, shining academic-NGO-transnational-moron convergence, which was all too quickly overtaken by very real and tragic events that threw their absurd equivocations into sharp relief.
