Is Melanie Phillips a war criminal?

"The prerequisite for stabilising all these hotspots — including “Israel/Palestine” — and dealing with global Islamic terror is regime change in Tehran."

So says loyal british citizen Melanie ...

In an artice that no-one in their right mind would write, our dear loyal Ms Phillips, writing for the Jewish Chronical, suggests a remedy for the M.E. ills ... Iranian genocide!?!

A taster:

"People say war against Iran would turn a largely pro-western people against the West. But war need not mean carpet-bombing Tehran. It can and should mean targeted strikes on the regime and its principal interests.

War should always be a last resort. But, as in the 1930s, the West once again has failed to take the appropriate intermediate steps. Such a failure of nerve makes war more likely, not less.

As a result, the choice is not between war and peace. War with Iran is almost certainly inevitable. The choice is between war on our terms or on those laid down by Iran. The longer we wait, the more that choice is loaded against the defeat of this most lethal of all threats to the free world."

Is there any limit on the depraved nature of such an obnoxious warmonger and open fascist?

Nope.

Drop her a line if you have a strong stomach and can be bothered to be ignored or insulted;

not so lucid

While Phillips remains as odious as always, she doesn't call for genocide.

"People say war against Iran would turn a largely pro-western people against the West. But war *need* *not* *mean* *carpet-bombing* Tehran. It can and should mean targeted strikes on the regime and its principal interests."

Better to argue with what she actually says, than what you'd like her to admit.

Thick antisemite wanker alert

Is jackslucid an antisemitic fool who regards the writings of any Jew as being somehow less valid than those by gentiles.

Phillips may write for the Daily Mail but she is a recognised journo of note. jackslucid on the other hand is another Indy UK Jew obsessed antisemite who thinks that Iran is above critical comment because their leader wants to destroy Israel.

Lucid - I don't think so

genocide ... apparently its relative

16.05.2008 12:06

... but genocide would be the most likely outcome of an unprevoked attack on Iran ...

...and for those posters who could not be included in this thread, due to their extreme lack of lucid responses, this genocide would extend to 'their own side'[sic].

Is it not obvious that Iran will not roll over and let the imperial designs of an amerikan/israeli alliance & Ms Phillips unfold without a response?

Like it or not, this response will include a direct attack upon israeli assets, from thence the 'nuclear' option has been freely opined by neutral and non-neutral sources alike, in the daily specticle of ratcheting up the war fever, as the most favoured option.

The likelyhood of casualties in figures that SHOULD warrent the epithet of genocide is high even without this option (notwithstanding the ADLs definition, which remains exclusive!).

Anyone advocating a course of action that is likely to lead to genocide, are they not by definition a war criminal?

Iran is a very serious threat though!

Iran is a very serious threat though. A threat that we ignore at our peril. Melanie is also not talking about all out war, but targetted airstrikes to destroy Irans' ability to intimidate the Middle East.
