   Those who pursue their political goals by promoting hatred usually appeal
to those who already believe that "they" have a powerful conspiracy and are
out to get "us."

   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.
