Andrew Sullivan has a terrific

Andrew Sullivan has a terrific op-ed in the Sunday Times on anti-Semitism, Arab, French, and ours.

It's not the main point of his argument, but I was struck by this passage:

Many western liberals chided America for withdrawing from the Durban conference on racism last August. But that conference was the latest high-water mark for Jew-hating. The infamous, fabricated tract, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, was widely distributed at the meeting. Questioners were shouted down with cries of "Jew! Jew! Jew!"

In the wake of 911, everyone knows that we can no longer ignore the terrible problem of anti-Semitism in the Arab world. Is it too much to ask that Bush-bashers remove our repudiation of this disgraceful "anti-racism" conference, at least, from their list of examples American Evil?
