Sounds Like A Plan ... Not!

Yesterday I kept seeing the headline about the "holocaust denier" getting jail time but didn't really pay attention to what it meant. You can go to jail for that? I went to college with and know a few nimrods who claim it didn't happen either or that it was greatly exaggerated. They were bigots but bet your bottom dollar there are a lot of "good Catholics" and "Evangelcals" who say the same type of stuff in closed quarters. Why anyone would waste a "charge" on that nutjob in Iran is beyond me. What are they going to do? Invade Iran and arrest him? There are far more valiant efforts that need to be pursued. This is just silly!

An Israeli lawyer, Ervin Shahar, says he has asked Germany to charge Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with denying the Holocaust.

Mr Ahmadinejad was widely criticised when he said last year that the Holocaust was a 'myth' and that Israel should be 'wiped off the map'.

Germany passed a law in 1993 forbidding Holocaust denial. It is punishable by up to five years in prison.

Six million Jews were killed by the Nazis during World War II.

Mr Shahar said he wanted the German federal prosecutors' office to take the issue before the constitutional court in the hope that international arrest warrants would be issued against Mr Ahmadinejad.
