I'm not a big fan of W's intellectual capacity (helloo.. helloo.. helloo...anybody here ..here..here..) but I think his approach to the three members of the so-called axis of evil (Iraq, Iran, North Korea) seem crafted to suit the country in question as opposed to the one-size-fits-all approach that one might assume he would use based on your characterization. He invaded Iraq, we have clandestine meetings with Iran in Sweeden and we have above-board and direct talks with North Korea. And we wouldn't invade Iran or NK in a thousand years under any pretext (real or imaginary).
I'm not really disagreeing with your main point as much as its implications. And do you
really worry about W pushing the nuke-U-ler button? I don't.
