The clan 11 terrorist hijackings pushed the United Nations' World meeting for consultation against Racism off the effrontery pages, but many national and international commentators were discussing the conversation well after it ended clan 7. K.P. Waran writes in the family 10 edition of the fresh Straits Times, a dally published in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, that U Secretary of State Colin Powell should not have plucked his delegation out of the interview to protest criticism of Israel. As a black man who has had to stand over against racism in America, Powell should have made a better showing, Waran writes. "He decided to rely forward the cop-out precedent set by way of others who had little interest in of that kind issues. ... By withdrawing the U delegation from the racism meeting for consultation Washington seems to ignore the greater ne to create a united world." A tribe 13 editorial in The Hindu newspaper from Chennai, India, writes that the "untouchables," or Dalits, were big winners at the conversation The Dalits are 240 million Indians at the bottom of the cou ntry's caste body The editorial reports that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan invited the same member of the organization to address 12 presidents and world leaders at the colloquy The "tiniest African country, indigenous folks from New Zealand and toward the south America, and obscure little European kingdoms have listened in horror to the tales of what we do to our Dalits," the editorial notes.
