The conference, scheduled for Sunday and Monday, was organized by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has called the systematic killing of some 6 million Jews a "myth" and "exaggerated." Some 67 foreign researchers from 30 countries are scheduled to attend the two-day meeting.I think I may have figured this thing out.
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.
We know Ahmadinejad's not squeamish about a little genocide... so maybe he just doesn't want Hitler to take all the credit.
Of course, ole' Mahmoud's not a one-trick pony... he's coming for us too.
