I've Been Thinking:
Iran continues to make gestures ahead of next week's meeting in Geneva with the leaders of the Western world.
In one major concession cum gesture, the Iranians have cancelled their annual New Horizon Conference, also known as the Holocaust Denial Conference. The conference was scheduled for next month and among the 63 foreign guests expected to attend was David Duke, the former Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan.
The British newspaper The Telegraph reported the cancellation on Thursday.
This conference was a central feature in the foreign policy of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. It was one of those dramatic moments of the Iranian diplomatic year, one in which people made the most outrageous announcements about the West and about the Holocaust.
Even if nothing comes from next week's meeting with Iran, cancelling The New Horizon Conference is a big positive.
