One of the best responses to Ahmadinejad’s invitation to speak, from the Dilbert Blog.

I hate Ahmadinejad for all the same reasons you do. For one thing, he said he wants to "wipe Israel off the map." Scholars tell us the correct translation is more along the lines of wanting a change in Israel’s
government toward something more democratic, with less gerrymandering. What an ass-muncher!

Ahmadinejad also called the holocaust a "myth." Fuck him! A myth is something a society uses to frame their understanding of their world, and act accordingly. It’s not as if the world created a whole new country
because of holocaust guilt and gives it a free pass no matter what it does. That’s Iranian crazy talk. Ahmadinejad can blow me. 

Most insulting is the fact that "myth" implies the holocaust didn’t happen. Fuck him for saying that! He also says he won’t dispute the historical claims of European scientists. That is obviously the opposite of
saying the holocaust didn’t happen, which I assume is his way of confusing me. God-damned fucker. 

Furthermore, why does an Iranian guy give a speech in his own language except for using the English word "myth"? Aren’t there any Iranian words for saying a set of historical facts has achieved an unhealthy level
of influence on a specific set of decisions in the present? He’s just being an asshole.
