A Tehran newspaper has been shut down by Iranian government officials, as reported by the official IRNA news agency on Sunday. Apparently, the paper published a story critical of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's stance on Israel. Ahmadinejad, one of the masterminds and leaders of the seizure of the US Embassy in 1979, consequently claims that the holocaust was a "myth".
We have people, Americans, who believe that we can sit down and have civilized dialog with this government. I would suggest that it is virtually impossible to have a conversation with someone who will not admit a historical fact. Millions of people were killed in this atrocity called the holocaust; to deny that it happened is absurd.
Further, to shut down a media outlet because they are critical of you, regardless of your position, is demonstrative of the fact that you are insecure with who you are and what you are doing. The most absurd thing is to think that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cares anything at all about what we say.
The man is evil. That's not a religiously biased statement, nor is it an ethnically biased statement. It is my opinion based on his actions. I'd submit that there's enough evidence to qualify it as a fact.
