I have now changed it.

It's annoying that he gives "learned talks" from time to time (e.g. in universities, both in Iran and abroad) claiming he has "arguments" about the fiction of the Holocaust. His arguments are moronic.Takis Konstantopouloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14675216467783238403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8290524889657823805.post-74013132370522008272009-09-22T10:45:40.331+02:002009-09-22T10:45:40.331+02:00It would be a case of optimism to just call Ahmedi...It would be a case of optimism to just call Ahmedinejad childish. Because then it's like he just "caught a case" of the bigots and the irrationals and it's reasonable to expect to cure it in many people.<br /><br />I don't think I'm as optimistic -- as an example Holocaust denial is probably very widespread in the general Iranian population, in which case I don't think it makes sense to label them as childish.<br /><br />I think the problems of bigotry are a bit more serious, in that they're entertained by lots of very <i>adult</i> people.Michaelhttp://anadder.comnoreply@blogger.com
