Iran Is Insulting To Humankind

Published by at 12:20 pm under All General Discussions

Iran is absolutely out of control. What better way to demonstrate maturity and self control regarding nuclear power than to put on a Holocaust conference highlighting ignorance, denial and irresponsibility:

Leaders in Germany and Britain have sharply criticized the announcement of the conference and plans to invite notorious Holocaust deniers as a further example of Iran’s dangerous strategy of provocation and anti-Semitism.

Iran has presented the conference as an exercise in free speech, where Asefi said Blair “can say the kind of things he cannot say in London.”

“For half a century, the defenders of the Holocuast have used every tribune to defend their position, and now they have to listed to others,” the foreign ministry spokesman said.

Earlier in the month, Blair lashed out at the planned meeting as “shocking, ridiculous, and stupid.” He said Ahmadinejad, who publicly doubted 6 million Jews had been killed in World War II, “should come and see the evidence of the Holocaust himself in the countries of Europe.”

Asefi replied by saying one would have to see when the president of Iran has time for a close up tour of those places. Iran’s foreign minister has already said he was willing to send a team of “independent investigators” to visit former Nazi death camps across Europe.

Can Iran do anything else to demonstrate they are simply not ready for anything more dangers than a gas can?

    Iran has formed a top secret team of nuclear specialists to infiltrate the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, the UN-sponsored body that monitors its nuclear programme, The Daily Telegraph has been told.

    Its target is the IAEA’s safeguards division and its aim is to obtain information on the work of IAEA inspectors so that Iran can conceal the more sensitive areas of its nuclear research, according to information recently received by western intelligence.

    If the Weat allows this weasel to get away with the nuclear bame he’s playing, there is no hope.

    The fact that we give trade and immigration priveledges to Russia and China while they encourage this kind of crap is simply amazing.

    There is no excuse for a nutjob manaic regime to get nukes. Zero. Zilch. Nada. To countennance this tantamount to suicide for our nation and its way of life.

    Is anyone out there paying attention?
