:Irving had EVERY chance, and he himself chose to join the losing side of the moral struggle.  He knows bloody well that the holocaust happened, that Hitler ordered it, and that his lawsuit was nothing more than a cynical attempt to supress the truth by intimidation.  Irving is a Nazi himself, and has decided to take on Goebbel's job of decieving the public to give other nazis another chance at completing the crimes they attempted in the twntieth century.  Irving lost this case because he was wrong.
