It looks like the event hit bottom on its opening day when Iranian hate-monger President Ahmadinejad cranked things up with attacks on Israel. The BBC is reporting that a stream of delegates walked out - even the French were disgusted.
It boggles the mind that any nation that sent a delegation is surprised that this was the result. I'm all for diplomacy but all parties have to come together in good faith and from a reasonable point of view....
Update: Israel recalled it's ambassador to Switzerland for hosting this debacle. Also, I don't know how I missed this one but the conference was scheduled to start on Holocaust Remembrance day.... and the 120th anniversary of the birth of Hitler.
Like I said, the hits just keep on coming. Way to go UN.

It's disgraceful, it really is.
