#1 So? Arabs, including the state press of the sooo pro-western Mubarak, has been doing it for decades. For that matter, any mention of the Holocaust in Euro school-history books?

#3 Is this the same Holocaust...the one he's denying, that is....that he says Europe is trying to finish through the creation of the state of Israel?

Oh come on now, surely you've heard the statement

#6 This sounds like a good idea. Let David Irving (and David Duke) attend.

Then one JDAM...

#7 there ought to be a counter conference on the genocide against Armenians in Turkey (actually two periods of massacres) and the 6oo year genocide of Hindus by Moslems and the continuing ethnic cleansing of Bangla and Pakland and...

#8 Actually, mhw, that's a great idea. But no one from outside the US will attend, probably, because that would mean they might actually have to be critical of Muslims, and the international community would NEVER stand for that.

Another idea for this Holocaust Denial conference: find a printer in Iran who can print yards-long cloth with genocidal images from Dachau, etc. Sew the cloths together so that they extend for blocks. Protestors could line the area, holding up the images, so that whatever Ahmedinejad wants to show, behind it will be the other story. Of course, he and his Iranian thugs would crack down on such 'blasphemy', but timed right, that could be captured on film.

OK, so that idea's a fantasy, but it was an appealing image there for a while...

#9 Man to dignify this with a conference is so wrong.

Dachau, unless you know about it to go see it, you would never know that it was there. The locals walk past it without any thought given at all to it. In several small towns in Germany, Gemunden Au Main to name one, has a plaque that tells of how the synogague was blown up by the Nazi's. They fail to mention how the town's people desecrated it prior to it being blown up.
Not to mention how most the cemetery's for the jewish people are on steep hillsides, and in bad repair.
I was fortunate enough to see this and hear from elders to remember what happened along with crystal night and other historical events. Sad to see that these animals are changing history to suit their ambitions. Very worrisome indeed.

#10 Let's not jump to conclusions. Perhaps history is more flexible that we think. After the election I'm going to going for a $500 appropriation for an institute(I'm thinking Parkersburg) to revisit the so-called "slavery" issue. Times change, maybe history does too.

On January 3, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps began a two day seminar in Tehran devoted to nuclear-biological-chemical warfare and new defense technologies, that included lectures by Iranian experts on electromagnetic pulse weapons, graphite bombs, and laser-guided bombs. These are the same weapons many Western intelligence analysts believe Iran will attempt to use against us.

On January 4, three battalions of the IRGC ground forces began three days of NBC military exercises in Semnan province, not far from Iran’s main ballistic missile proving ground.

In addition to a recent $1 billion arms agreement, announced last month, Russia is now negotiating with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards to modernize Iran’s fleet of MiG-29 fighters with state-of-the-art radar, electronic counter-measures, and reconnaissance systems, specifically designed to counter the threat of Israeli aircraft. A Rev. Guards buying mission will visit Lukhovitsy and Kalayazin in Russia to view these new systems in February 2006. The Russians have also agreed to sell Iran S-300 anti-missile systems, believed by most experts to be superior to any comparable system currently available on world markets.

...

The resumption of enrichment activities, which could give Iran the special nuclear material needed to make nuclear weapons, has long been sited by Israel as the “red line” they would not allow Iran to cross.

Iran now appears ready and willing to cross that red line. And with Mr. Sharon sidelined from Israeli politics, Israeli military leaders are unlikely to bet on a prayer and a chance that Iran just might be bluffing.

After all, as Iran’s Larijani himself said, Israel is “within our range.”
