Clearing the room at the U.N.

sbwnewsitemSo, what do you do when you want to clear the room at an U.N. anti-racism meeting?

You make blunt racist remarks.

Ahmadinejad is back in the news, obviously. He accused Israel of being cruel and racist (and a few other things I won’t mention here). The U.N. chief said that basically the Iranian leader used the opportunity to incite hatred and break Israel apart. If you want to check out the article as in appears on KDKA, Click Here. Now, some of the remarks said (there will be enough articles, in addition to the KDKA one mentioned here – so read them) are comparable to me as a white man going to a anti-racism meeting in Pittsburgh and saying all black people are lower class because of the way they were brought up. Ahmadinejad’s U.N. speech should be a multiple-day newsworthy tidbit, so keep watching, SWB is sure it will get better.

It’s amazing how so few people can bring back into the world what so many are trying to get rid of.

PS – Everyone has a right to their opinion (no matter how twisted) … but as a leader of a country, don’t you think you’d want to be a tad more tactful?
