Quick! while we've got the KKK, all the holocaust deniers AND the Mad Mullahs together in one room, lets accidentally drop a bomb on them.

In the grand scheme of things, that really might not be a bad idea.

Seriously, though, Iran's Holocaust conference is not even worth wasting breath over weather you beleive it happened or not for it is immaterial.

Every neuron firing to process this story is a neuron that is not firing in an attempt to look into the Iranian nuclear program and other aspirations or even the bigger problems of this day. I suspect it is a smoke screen.

To squander your mental resources on the Iranian conference is to take your mind off of the ball.

Good plan on Ahmadinejad's part; it appears that it might be working based on the editorial response.

Agreed, Sir,
I noticed that there was no thread discussing the student protests of Achmedinezhad during his speech at the Polytechnique in Tehran. Seems somebody popped off a firecracker, and the crowd called him a dictator.
Ah, those wierd, wacky Persians! Always more than meets the eye!

Looks like Jimmy Carter couldn't come. Is it just me or is Ahmadinejad purposely trying to to turn everyone against him and Iran?

It's eerie, not a word from world leaders regarding his international arrogance....well, except the US.

To comment gives the symposium a certain legitamcy in the eyes of the nut jog deniers.

Dont worry about that, Ahmedinijad is the best thing that has happened to Israel, US and all those who were pointing out that Irans extremism is dangerous.

Hey, what's the worst that can happen?

I hope the Flat Eath Society was invited along with the anti-Darwinians.

Here's a story about a bunch of guys you would never expect to attend such a conference:

Why are Jews at the 'Holocaust denial' conference?

Why are Jews attending a conference on the Holocaust in Tehran at which star guests include deniers of the genocide? Clue: they also want an end to the Israeli state.
A handful of Orthodox Jews have attended Iran's controversial conference questioning the Nazi genocide of the Jews - not because they deny the Holocaust but because they object to using it as justification for the existence of Israel.

With their distinctive hats, beards and side locks, these men may, to the untrained eye, look like any other Orthodox believers in Jerusalem or New York. But the Jews who went to Tehran are different.

Some of them belong to Neturei Karta (Guardians of the City), a Hasidic sect of a few thousand people which views Zionism - the movement to establish a Jewish national home or state in what was Palestine - as a "poison" threatening "true Jews".

Hmmm, Maybe those of the Jewish decent should hold a conference on Irans nuclear program in hiding and locate the conference in Israel and really piss em off. That SOB thinks we will focus on this instead of his nuclear program. Yeah we were born yesterday. It is my hopes that if anybody attacks their nuclear program it will be those who he wishes to "Wipe from the face of the earth" no matter which country they are from.
