Everywhere that problems did not exist are now major problems only after George Jr proclaimed them. Iraq, Iran, and N Korea are all now major problems. Iraq was a threat to no one when American invaded. Iran was busy debating a more open and reformed society. North Korea was solved in the Jimmy Carter agreement when America subverted the entire agreement. In each case, the axis of evil speech is a center point of that world wide subversion.

Meanwhile, where a problem did exist - Afghanistan - George Jr instead let bin Laden go free AND now has all but encouraged the Taliban to return. Afghanistan has all the tenor and gist of Vietnam. Another victory for pre-emption and the Cheney Doctrine? Yes.

The ABC News report essentially mocks those in America who still foolishly promote the 'big dic' philosophy. Unfortunately, the 'not so funny part' is how much this joke (the president) has cost the rest of us.

Kim is just throwing tantrums until someone tosses him a big pile of money to stop.
