From BBC Online:

Quote:
Iran says it will hold a conference to assess the scale and consequences of the Holocaust, which its president recently described as a "myth".

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has also sparked international condemnation by calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map", or moved to Europe or the US.

From The Telegraph Online:

Quote:
As Iran rushes towards confrontation with the world over its nuclear programme, the question uppermost in the mind of western leaders is "What is moving its President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to such recklessness?"

The most remarkable aspect of Mr Ahmadinejad's piety is his devotion to the Hidden Imam, the Messiah-like figure of Shia Islam, and the president's belief that his government must prepare the country for his return.

Iran to have conference on the Holocaust, I don't now if I should laugh or not on this.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad with his extreme views and recklessness will cause more problems for all of us. More the problems that He causes for Europe and the World will make him more popular in Iran.

I say that Europe should handle this crisis. No, really. They're always trying to outmaneuver us by creating a unilateral world. Look at their dealings with China and their attempted arms sales. If they want to be a superpower, then they should send their Eurofighters or whatever-the-hell they're called over Iran to bomb the crap out of them. Diplomacy has failed and America is too tied up in Iraq/Afghanistan. Lets see Europe show some teeth.

Yes I get the feeling the US will ask European leaders to intervene due to current commitments but will probably get dragged along any how. Is this the next potential big warzone?

Europe wants to be a World Power but in the end it will not become one in the end.
