Re: Axis of Evil - then and now
you know, that is a good high level view and I was shocked to find some of the similiarities you've pointed out even though I can disagree on a number of details.
Hm, that throws the whole Iran prognosis into a new light.
If only the Bushmen hadn't so mishandled Iraq things would have been lot easier
PS: on a trivial peeve, shouldn't that be scape goat, not escape goat.
Finally, a lot of blame has to be laid on how badly the the Dems and Repubs are letting party rivalry overwhelm foreign policy. Yes there is bound to be rivalry but in a advanced democracy such as the USA we should expect better 'working togetherness' once the elections are over, yet of late, the next campaign starts on the date the election results are announced
