I agree. He's a moron but he has a right to be one.

Think of Germany as a convicted mass murderer..
That murderer was NOT executed, he was released on parole.
One of the conditions of parole, was that he couldn't deny he was a murderer...or permit his "spokespersons" to deny he was a murderer....

Then you have some idea of why the Germans and the Axis partners are refused the right to lie about their past crimes...

Another way of looking at it -- the loser doesn't get to rewrite history -- the winner has that prerogative.
