Irving off to Iran

David Irving's release from Austria can only give hope to President Ahmadinejad, a week after the Holocaust denial conference in Tehran.

The clemency shown to Irving will only embolden Holocaust deniers and it wouldn't surprise me if that conference in Tehran becomes an annual event, a regular neo-Nazi shindig.

Hopefully the conditions of Irving's probation will limit his activities somewhat, but I imagine that Ahmadinejad's invite is already in the post.

I think that opponents of Holocaust denial and neo-Nazis need to step up a gear.
