Axis of Evil Revisited

Sphere: Related Content

When Bush called North Korea, Iraq and Iran the "Axis of Evil", Liberals damn near soiled their lowriders and wrung their hands in frenzied fashion. Let's examine the members of the axis today:

First Iraq, they are going to vote at the end of this month and regardless of what the anti-war types think, it will a legitimate election.

Iran has had some interior uprisings but the Ayatollahs have thus far been able to keep a lid on it. The US has been conducting previously covert ops into the country planning targets.

Now we hear that North Koreans are getting some political beer muscles and may well be stirring up trouble in Kim Jong-il's workers paradise:

Seoul (AsiaNews) – The first images of dissident activities in North Korea show a poster of Kim Jong-il covered in handwritten slogans against the leader. “People, let’s stage both violent and non-violent struggles,” said a leader of the North Korean group Youth Solidarity for Freedom in a spoken statement recorded on the videotape. “It’s a legitimate struggle if you refuse to go to work when your factory does not provide food and living allowances. [. . .] “Why is Kim Jong-il so intent on blocking reform and openness?” [. . .] “Down with Kim Jong-il! People, let’s all rise up and drive out the dictatorship!”
