No, they're all hiding, all 9 million of them!

Sometimes world politics gives me a headache. The Iranian President is 'denying the holocaust', as it is popularly known. To my mind, denying the holocaust strikes me as a term you'd use to describe someone saying 'I didn't do it', so I'm happy to deny the holocaust, but I'm pretty sure it happened, and it was in the top 5 unpleasant events of any kind in recent history.

Eariler in the year, everyone was concerned that the US was going to attack Iran. Then they didn't, many said, because they were overstretched with resources in the hurricane stricken South, and Iraq. Then Iran entered into nice, friendly discussions about nuclear power. Then more recently the US starts talking about freeing up some of its resources in Iraq. Then Iran ignored its promises about nuclear power, and then the Iranian President is all over the news, telling Europe's governments that the Jewish state should be stuck in Europe rather than on his back door, and that 9 million Jews didn't die in the 40s at the hands of the Nazis. So, is the media pushing this to the fore to provoke, is the US in league with the Middle Eastern Governments to make the whole world democratic, or is the President of Iran a genuine suicidal nutcase?

Watch this space for more news on the annihilation of Iran, and the installation of a friendly, democratic government, who treat the people well and sell oil at reasonable prices.
