Axis of Evil 

Axis of Evil

You all remember, of course, the infamous "Axis of Evil" identified in President Chimpy's 2002 State of the Union Address, Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. And of course the whole world, except the Republican true believers, now knows that of those three, Iran and North Korea have active and advanced nuclear weapons programs and that Iraq doesn't and didn't, although Saddam did have weapons-of-mass-destruction-related-program-hopes. And of course you all know that because we have committed most of our available military resources to the fight in Iraq we have no realistic means of even hoping to control either Iraq or North Korea. And that because we squandered all of our post 9/11 goodwill by lying to the world about the threat posed by Iraq and then denigrated all nations that wouldn't believe our Iraq lies we no longer have any credibility or standing to recruit other nations to help us out in reining in North Korea and Iran. And yes, you all know that we are farther than ever before from imposing any kind of civil or military order in Iraq and that, although there was precious little terrorist activity emanating from Iraq before our invasion, that nation is now terrorism central.

Knowing all that, don't you wonder how anyone could possibly believe that the invasion of Iraq has made the world, or even just the US safer?
