Iran just finished hosting a bizarro-world academic "history" conference. Subject: the Holocaust. Or, to be more precise, the lack of one. I knew about this some time ago, but I didn't know the US "delegation" was being led by the old Imperial Wizard himself. Can we get the Iranians to keep him? I'm sure they'd have lots to talk about.

That's a lot

Did you hear the NPR reports?
They interviewed several of the nutjobs.
To bad a tactical bombing would only cause more problems in the middle east because if anyplace needed one this conference would be it.

It would be a target-rich environment. Then again, they'd just blame it on the Jews.

[squigybits]

Indeed.

Never fear, it looks like the Iranians are going to get to the bottom of this.

"Also at the end of the conference, Mohammad Ali Ramini, an Ahmadinejad adviser who has called the Holocaust a 'myth,' announced that he will chair a committee to find 'the truth on the genocide of Jews.'"

Very wacky. I understand the Arab motivation for saying the Holocaust is a myth (to delegitimate Israel) but what is the white supremecist movitivation? They love Hitler, they want to kill all the Jews... Is it their position that "the Holocaust is a myth because, dernit, we missed a few"?

[carlos_thedwarf]

It's really for the same reason. Like the Arabs, if they can prove that it never happened, they can show how those crafty Hebrews have fooled everyone/control the world/etc.

*sigh* Yep. You know, I respect everyone's right to be crazy, but why can't they do something crazy but peaceful... like wear ignuanas on their heads?

I bet the iguanas don't think that's a peaceful form of crazy.
