Iran: What Holocaust?

Germany condemned a planned Iranian conference on the Holocaust and summoned Iran's charge d'affaires to the Foreign Ministry, saying that attempts to question the Nazis' murder of Jews were shocking and unacceptable. "We condemn all past and future attempts of anyone who gives a platform to those who relativize or question the Holocaust," German Foreign Ministry spokesman Jens Ploetner said. The Iranian president has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," and the Tehran conference appeared to be part of Ahmadinejad's public campaign against the Jewish state. In the meantime, Jim Baker believes that Iran should be "engaged" by the United States.

I truely enjoyed this killer exchange between Hugh Hewitt and Mark Steyn:

HH: Mark Steyn, I'm getting to you late. It seems to me most of serious America has already vomited back the ISG report. What say you about the Baker-Hamilton commission?

MS: I think it's a joke. Most of it is platitudinous generalities that any half-informed person could come up with. But when it gets specific, I think it gets us into very dark and dangerous territory indeed, because it basically signs onto the pathologies of our enemies.
