Susan Estrich H/T SlateI know I make it a habit to ridicule Susan Estrich.    She deserves it and I enjoy it.   However Estrich is for from stupid    Her problem is that she  blinded by the victimology of gender feminism.   She ventures outside of the confines of gender femimism,  Hartford Courant:

 In 2005, for the 60th anniversary of the liberation, the United Nations designated Jan. 27 as International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

And so it was certainly not a coincidence that the official spokesman for Iran’s government chose Jan. 27, 2009, to make a statement denouncing the Holocaust as a “big lie” used to justify the existence of the state of Israel. “The Holocaust is a concept coming from a big lie in order to settle a rootless regime in the heart of the Islamic world,” Gholam Hossein Elham said at a conference on Gaza held in central Iran’s religious city of Qom.

Iranian leaders are well known for their embrace of the real “big lie.” In 2005, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad denounced the Holocaust as “myth” and said that Israel was doomed to disappear.

Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has vowed to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, and Barack Obama has promised to negotiate with Iran without preconditions.   Estrich sees the problem.   Can anybody is Mrs. Clinton’s Foggy Bottom also see the same problem and get the message to the one?   Don’t hold your breath.
