If we are so sure of our truths, can we not defend them with evidence and reason, rather than legislating to protect them? Let the holocaust deniers shout from the rooftops; they just draw attention to an evil that might otherwise fade into the distance.<BR/><BR/>As for European-wide legislation, it is neither necessary nor warranted.
