I am unfamiliar with the incident? [Durban anti-racism "conference"] I'm really surprised anyone doesn't remember that since it was widely in the news. All the more that the conference ended just before the 9/11 attacks (that timing was surely a coincidence though.). The conference was more or less hijacked by Israel haters and anti-globalization idiots to spew their agendas. These people had no business whatsoever being at the conference imho. There are many cases of racism worldwide that don't get the kind of coverage they should because of this stupid Israel obsession on the part of the UN and the news media, and such a conference could have been useful in making these things more well known. Try a Google search for Durban + anti-racism conference, you'll see tons of hits. Is this the reason Bush did not meet with Mandela? I don't actually know, it could be a combination of factors. And with all the noise that France in particular has made in fanning anti-Americanism over the Iraq invasion, I don't recall hearing much of anything from Mandela. I hope more actually comes from Bush's tour in Africa, since Clinton also took a tour but nothing much concrete resulted that I recall.
