Dramatic exit of UN Diplomats at
Durban II United Nations Conference
French student protestors shout down Ahmadinejad
& call him a racist
Iran leader sparks walkout at UN Conference in Geneva
Dozens of Western diplomats walked out of a U.N. conference and a pair of rainbow-wigged protesters threw clown noses at Iran's president Monday when the hard-line leader called Israel the "most cruel and repressive racist regime."
The United States decried the remarks by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as hateful — reinjecting tension into a relationship that had been warming after President Barack Obama sought to engage Iran in talks on its nuclear program and other issues.
