There goes the BBC again, seeking to explain Iranian President Ahmadinejad’s incitement to genocide, and implying that UK Prime Minister Blair is the one doing the saber-rattling:
Tony Blair has expressed “revulsion” at the Iranian president’s assertion that he wanted Israel “wiped off the map”.
Mr Blair told an EU summit at Hampton Court, near London, that he had “never come across” comments like those made by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Wednesday.
He added that Iran, suspected of having a nuclear weapons programme, could soon be considered a “real threat”.
But Iran later accused the West of turning a blind eye to what it called Israel’s “crimes”.
EU leaders earlier issued a joint statement saying they condemned Mr Ahmadinejad’s remarks.
BBC political editor Nick Robinson said Mr Blair’s comments carried the “implicit threat of military action”.

Makes me wonder, what would Iran be today if the west did not arbitrarily slice up a part of the middle east and hand it over to the Jews. What was being proved by such a ‘magnanimous’ gesture by the west via that act? That lands that were once part of a particular peoples heritage ought to be returned? How would that apply to the natives of the USA? How would that serve to exonerate Saddam in his invasion of Kuwait?
Every action has a reaction. What we ought to do is to study the potential reactions, given the best and worst propensities of the human persona, in the face of our actions.

Just a thought on your banner,
‘War to Mobilise Democracy’? That ‘war’ has been conducted throughout history by those who had fought to maintain the priviliege of the existing order and its incumbent elite.
What we need is a ‘War to Define Democracy’ lest your version of WMD serve as yet another ‘War of Megalomaniacal Dimensions’.

Yes. Blame the Jews and democracy.
