Now The Madness Makes Sense
For the longest time I have wondered why Iran's nutter president could continue to deny the Holocaust ever occured. Though I wasn't there, and can't speak personally of the atrocities committed by the Nazi Regime, many were and they have written about it. It is a fact taught to all schoolkids in history.
The Holocaust was the legacy of madness left behind by an insane sociopath. It will always remain the Nazi's sole legacy in the world.
But, as Captain Ed points out (thereby clearing something up for me that had been nagging at my thoughts), this is all about a strategy, courtesy of MEMRI:
On a visit to Gilan University, president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s advisor Mohammad Ali Ramin said to a group of students in the town of Rasht, 'Ten years ago, when I brought up the issue of the Holocaust for the first time in this country, my goal was to defend the Jewish people. But among the Jews there have always been those who killed God’s prophets and who opposed justice and righteousness. Throughout history, this religious group has inflicted the most damage on the human race, while some of its groups engaged in plotting against other nations and ethnic groups to cause cruelty, malice and wickedness.
'Historically, there are many accusations against the Jews. For example, it was said that they were the source for such deadly disease as the plague and typhus. This is because the Jews are very filthy people. For a time people also said that they poisoned water wells belonging to Christians and thus killed them,' Ramin said. ...
...Claiming that the Holocaust was the principal reason why Palestine was occupied while Israel was the main cause of crises and catastrophe in the Middle East. 'So long as Israel exists in the region there will never be peace and security in the Middle East,' he said adding, 'So the resolution of the Holocaust issue will end in the destruction of Israel.'
Here's the skinny: Ahmadinejad doesn't believe the Holocaust didn't happen because it didn't end the way he wanted it to. The destruction of every last living Jew on the planet, which is what Hitler was working towards but, silly us, we got in the way. The moment the United States entered the war, Hitler knew his days were numbered. As far as Ahmadinejad is concerned, until he reaches that goal--the destructiuon of Israel, and as many Jews as he can annihilate, there won't be a Holocaust in his eyes.
To him, the completion of genocide marks a true holocaust. Those carried only halfway, as the Nazi's Holocaust was, isn't one. This is why we shouldn't be talking to these people. They can't be reasoned with, and as Hitler treated his signature on any agreement or accord as simply "ink on a page" so will Ahmadinejad. This is not a man we can talk to. This is not a nation that can be reasoned with. It's time to cut the ties now before we go down the Chamberlain-like path that this appears to be.
