Throw Zundel off the net and he will scream that the Jews want to suppress the truth. In this case, the lesser of two evils might be to let him rant and provide documentation which disproves his claims. If our education system made even a feeble attempt to educate its students, Zundel would only find fertile ground among those already committed to hatred. Nature abhors a vacuum, and the hate mongers know how to provide appealing filler to the ignorant. It's unfortunate that our immigration system makes no attempt to prevent hate-mongers from entering the country. I would rather see the Himy Syed's, Wolfgang Droge's, and Kamala-Jean Gopie's prevented from bringing their traditional hatreds to Canada than have Sergio Marchi grandstanding because a few decrepit Nazi's were deported at great expense fifty years after WWII ended. IMO His priorities (buy votes / reward friends and family) are not in the best longterm interest of the country. -- mdfreed@io.org Mark Freedman (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) Life is like a box of chocolates. If the "spring surprise" don't get you, the "crunchy frog" will.
