Iranian Prez Says Holocaust a Myth

I just read this.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad escalated his anti-Israeli rhetoric Wednesday, calling the Holocaust a "myth" used by Europeans to create a Jewish state in the heart of the Islamic world.
Those damn Europeans!

Ahmadinejad last week questioned whether the Nazi destruction of 6 million European Jews during World War II occurred and said Israel should be moved to Europe. He also provoked an international outcry in October when he called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."
Yeah. This is a guy who should have nukes. Who needs to know what really happened historically, when you can decide to lob nukes at someone just because you hate their religion?

"I cannot hide the fact that this weighs on bilateral relations and on the chances for the negotiation process, the so-called nuclear dossier," (German Foreign Minister) Steinmeier said, referring to European talks with Iran on its nuclear program.
No shit.

Ahmadinejad said the West had harmed Muslims, invaded their countries and plundered their wealth.

"If your civilization consists of aggression, making oppressed people homeless, suffocating the voices of justice and bringing poverty to a majority of the world's people, we say loudly that we hate your hollow civilization," he said.
Would someone please, please, PLEASE get this guy a history book for Christmas? Or better yet -- a straightjacket and some serious drugs -- because he's delusional. Not to mention dangerous.
