By now it is a well-known fact that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad thinks that the Holocaust was a publicity stunt pulled in order to provide backing for the creation of Israel after World War II. Granted, he also has vowed to wipe Israel off of the map, but, hey, he is pretty impartial in the whole matter. Last year during the flap in Denmark over the cartoons of Muhammed being published (and the subsequent murder of the cartoonist), the Iranian government sponsored a Holocaust cartoon laughing contest. High comedy at its best, really. Reminds me of Al Franken-era Saturday Night Live. No, seriously it does.
Now, to show how fair and impartial they truly are, Iran is hosting a conference on the Holocaust next month. In a true effort to be non-prejudiced, the conference will feature research, commentary, and opinion from both those who believe the Holocaust occurred (the sane and rational among us) and those who believe it was an elaborate hoax, one of the really funny "I gotcha" hoaxes complete with gas chambers, starvation, and furnaces. Kudos to President Tom for showing his soft side; it is great to see him moderate himself so.
In addition to this great accomplishment, Mahmoud has been recently committing himself to solving the problem in Iraq. Evidently, the al-Qaeda fighters there are only murdering other Iraqis because the US military is still there. Really? That is kind of strange to me, since most of the fighters are not native to Iraq (mostly Iranians) and Iranians never really got along with Iraqis. Besides that, if they do not want us there, would they not be trying to kill just our troops instead of civilians? Logic is not their strong suit apparently. Incredible.
