Therefore it must have come as a great shock to the
system for Americans this week to hear Iran's former
president, Mohammad Khatami, rail against the ignorant
Holocaust revisionism mouthed by his successor, the
hardline flibbertigibbet Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
(Excerpts after the jump below.) Or rather, it would
have come as a shock to the American system to hear
Khatami's words ? if Americans had actually been told
about them. But it serves no interests among America's
own ruling cliques to dilute the current line of the
day: that Iran is a hellhole of unremitting evil, a
new Nazi Germany led by a new Hitler. So Khatami's
remarks, reported widely elsewhere in the world, were
not allowed to disturb the lie-drugged slumber of the
American consciousness.
