Scary stuff: Will be interesting as Iran presses for more nuclear capability. Hopefully the international community will have the balls and the determination to stand up to this looming threat:

CNN: (not the entire article)

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad provoked international outrage on Wednesday when he described the Holocaust as "a myth" and suggested that Israel be moved to Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska.

Ahmadinejad's comments drew condemnations from Israel, the United States and Europe, which warned he was damaging Iran's position in talks about his regime's nuclear program.

In a speech to thousands of people in the Iranian city of Zahedan, Ahmadinejad said during a tour of southeastern Iran that if Europeans insist the Holocaust occurred, then they were responsible and should pay the price.

He also sparked widespread international condemnation in October when he called for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

"They have invented a myth that Jews were massacred and place this above God, religions and the prophets," Ahmadinejad said in the speech to thousands of people in the Iranian city of Zahedan, according to a report from Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting.

"The West has given more significance to the myth of the genocide of the Jews, even more significant than God, religion, and the prophets," he said. "(It) deals very severely with those who deny this myth but does not do anything to those who deny God, religion, and the prophet."

"If you have burned the Jews, why don't you give a piece of Europe, the United States, Canada or Alaska to Israel," Ahmadinejad said.
