Iran leader asks Merkel for help on Zionism

[SnowStan]

In February, Merkel compared Ahmadinejad's statements and stance to Adolf Hitler's rise to power when he and his Nazi party began threatening to exterminate European Jewry.

"Remember that in 1933 many people said it was just rhetoric," Merkel said.

She just earned instant cred in my book. In 1933, Hitler was a joke, the Germans were a harmless confused muddle, and there was nothing to worry about. Good call, Merkel!!!
