denier Ahmadinejad's statements, paradoxically, the president of a summit on racism, were no surprise. Has followed a line of open confrontation with the West and particularly against the representation of the West in a retrograde Middle East, as is Israel. His epithets toward the Jewish state as a "racist state", etc. Are not therefore something that should not be expected.
Nor is it surprising the reaction of the countries that withdrew from the Conference. Aside from the nine who decided from the outset not to participate in this circus anti-Western and islamophile that is Durban II (Israel, USA, Canada, Italy, Australia, Netherlands, Poland, New Zealand and Germany), another important group of Western nations, including Denmark, which has fought a European Islamization freedom of expression and France, who kept his promise to retire if the forum became what was to become, withdrew amid the Iranian president's verbal diarrhea.
More than those who left the room at the summit held in Geneva, it is necessary to highlight those who remained, including two cases that can generate more disappointed.
The first was the representation at the conference of the Holy See that, as confirmed by the spokesman Angelo Lombardi did not leave the room, causing new tensions between the Vatican and world Jewry, even after Pope Benedict XVI himself qualify the initiative as "very important."
The second unfortunate passivity during the first day of the conference itself was the UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, who, although he later condemned Ahmadinejad's speech claiming that "no country can offend another in UN "did nothing to stop it at the time, as downloaded from the podium or get his attention, and even publicly showed his displeasure by withdrawing enclosure, as did many other delegations.
Quite the contrary, the main criticism of Ban was against those who criticized and finally decided to boycott this paraphernalia "racist."
