The Tale of Two Conferences

Contrast these two conferences.

One a top-down conference of evil in Iran, discussing the Holocaust. Read "questioning the Holocaust". And therefore, in Ahmadinejad's logic, the question of Israel's legitimacy. Bret Stephens discusses the implications of it here.

The other, a grassroots conference called Media as Theater of War, the Blogosphere, and the Global Battle for Civil Society.

Israellycool's Aussie Dave is a speaker at this conference, and I look forward to hearing how it went.
