In the Credit Where It's Due department, chalk one up for Team Obama. After a brief dalliance with participation in the planning for the so-called anti-racism conference dubbed Durban II, Obama has decided to follow Bush administration precedent, and end any U.S. participation in what will clearly be nothing but another anti-Israeli hatefest.
UPDATE 3/2: More from Claudia Rosett, who wishes we would make our rejection of the conference more unequivocal, by way of a formal boycott and/or a strong public statement, rather than just quietly slinking away.
