Personal Reactions to the WCAR

Before I went to Durban, I had read all the NGO position papers and learned about globalism's role in racism. I got the feeling that U.S. objections to the Durban conference had more to do with globalism than to the Israeli-Palestinian issue. I was aware that U.S. preparation for the conference was half-hearted. The Clinton and Bush administrations could have done more. So when I went, I really didn't expect major U.S. support for the conference.
