As you know, Abombnjihad is
doing the world the service of studying whether the holocaust actually happened. He's a big free speech advocate:
Iran says it organized the conference to shed light on the reasons behind the formation of the state of Israel after World War II and to allow researchers from countries where it is a crime to question the Holocaust to speak freely.
"Iran is your home and is the home of all freedom seekers of the world," Ahmadinejad said. "Here you can express your views and exchange opinions in a friendly, brotherly and free atmosphere."
He urged countries where Holocaust denial is a crime to respect freedom of speech and not to take action against any of the conference participants on their return.
Scrappleface notes
a counter-conference, which opens the possibility of other international conferences which should be held--in a climate of openness and intellectual freedom, of course. A few suggestions:
- Is Dick Cheney The Hidden Imam?
- Whether There Is Any Such Thing As A Palestinian
- Honest Answers To Manuel II Paleologus' Question
- What Air Bases in Saudi Arabia? (could be held in conjunction with: Does Syria Exist?)
- There Were Just An Amazing Number Of Smokers In Hiroshima & Nagasaki Conference
- Was There Any Such Thing As The Carter Presidency?
