Ahmadinejad claims Holocaust may have been made up
From Deutsche Welle:
Yes, Ahmadinejad, the Madman of Tehran, said it is "a reasonable possibility that some countries that had won the war made up this excuse to constantly embarrass the defeated people... to bar their progress".
Merkel was not amused. And rightly so.
Not that we need yet more proof of Ahmadinejad's disturbed state of mind, but is he really this crazy? Yes, quite possibly. He may have meant this strange letter more for domestic consumption than for Merkel herself, and one wonders if he truly believes what he has to say about the Holocaust, but this is the political leader of a major Middle Eastern power with a nuclear program that may soon produce weapons who questions the Holocaust and denies Israel's right to exist.
I wouldn't put anything by him, would you?
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told German Chancellor Angela Merkel that the Holocaust may have been invented by the victorious Allied powers in World War II to embarrass Germany.

Ahmadinejad himself is entirely made up. Ask yourself - have you ever seen him and Mel Gibson together?
Really for a radical medievalist like that to complain about anyone stopping the progress of anyone is hilarious. As if anyone could imagine that the reason Islamic theocracies are backward has nothing to do with their own policies.
Nobody oppresses Iranians more than Iran.

Good point, Capt. Fogg, though I doubt someone like Ahmadinejad worries much about consistency. He's all about scoring political points at home, I suspect. But worrying himself so about the German people is quite hilarious. First, Germans thwarted their own progress with the Nazi regime, World War II, and the Holocaust (what was more progressive in Germany than its Jewish population?). Second, has Ahmadinejad never heard of the German miracle post-WWII? That was real progress.
