Iran's Ahmadinejad says Holocaust a myth

If this doesn't make everyone on the planet angry, then heaven help us. A myth? Sorry, but even revisionist history does not erase the systematic murder of 6 million Jews.

Rather than for me to pontificate and offer some witty rejoinder to the Islamic state of Iran, let's see what a spokesman for the object of his scorn has to say:

Israel's foreign ministry said Ahmadinejad's comments on Wednesday showed "a warped understanding".

"The combination of extremist ideology, a warped understanding of reality and nuclear weapons is a combination that no-one in the international community can accept," said spokesman Mark Regev.

Here's some information that Iran may want to consider: They've largely depleted their military fighting wars with Saddam's Hussein's regime over a couple of decades. Israel HAS nuclear strike capability, a viable, healthy military, and the ability, nay - the desire - to use them on any nation that would threaten their security. If it's an Islamic nation, that just makes the decision easier for them.

The escalation scenarios are horrifying.

Iran's got a collective big mouth, and they're gonna let it overload their collective ass, which Israel will in turn hand back to them. I fear we're perilously close to a large, smoking hole in Asia Minor.
