UNITED NATIONS —France on Wednesday led a walkout of a dozen delegations, including the United States, to protest a fiery speech by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the UN General Assembly.
“It is disappointing that Mr Ahmadinejad has once again chosen to espouse hateful, offensive and anti-Semitic rhetoric,” Mark Kornblau, spokesman to the US mission to the United Nations, said in a statement.
Delegations from Argentina, Australia, Britain, Costa Rica, Denmark, France Germany, Hungary, Italy, New Zealand and the United States left the room as Ahmadinejad began to rail against Israel, a European source said.
Reassuring. Encouraging. He was in fact railing against Jews and going about the traditional art of Holocaust denial. See also Norm, and Gene.

That is Nice. And I am learning something here too: a good review will always provoke a happy stupid look, then, even if I ever got to be venerable, erudite and learned...
It is certainly nice. Someone pointed out it wasn't very analytical though it is very hard to be analytical in c. 130 words. The niceness is very nice, but it's the speed of it impresses me. I now expect a period of profound silence...
Never mind about analytical, just count the star rating; that's a definite 5/5.
