2 I sense a distinct advantage to naming them "Axis of Evil" and then taking one out. My sense is that the norks decided they really should seriously consider playing defense.

Where they had previously only asked "How can we take South Korea?", they have now asked "How can we hold out against the US?"

The answer is very different, and not terribly pleasant for them.

In my experience, if a problem isn't truly intractable, the key is always just getting the right question asked. The answers almost always follow.

4 Ditto to what Shipman said. I think the bit about asking the right question came from Aristotle, which only proves that true wisdom never has an expiration date.

6 Its broadly the same as for the USSR during the Cold War, as for Radical Islam versus Israel -to take Western Europe means milpol defeating the USA, just as to defeat Israel, andor other ME democracies, the USA and NATO must be milpol defeated first or at the same time! The Iraqi "insurgency" is NOT a popular insurgency - it is mostly pro-Saddam DISGUISED ARMY ELEMENTS, SADDAMIST BAATHISTS, and hardline Radical Islamists from inside and mostly outside Iraq. These "insurgents" are fighting in Iraq because, amongst other things, THEY ARE COUNTING ON THE CLINTONS, THE ANTI-AMERICAN COMMUNITY AND UNO, AND COLLUSORY INTERNATIONAL LEFTS TO LEGALLY PROTECT SADDAM AND EVENTUALLY RETURN HIM TO POWER-INFLUENCE IN IRAQ, ESPEC ONCE AMERICA IS SUBORNED UNTO SOCIALISM AND OWG, ANDOR DESTROYED! IRAQ = IRAN = SYRIA = NORTH KOREA = ... in that these nations' primary response to war with the USA is to tie down US/Allied milfors in PC-incorrect, [nuclearized?] "VIETNAMS" - these Rogues and their PC "People's Wars", where War(s) for [anti-US/WEst/Dem/Capitalism] Global Socialism/OWG = "defense" against alleged US "imperialism" and "aggression", ARE THE ANVIL TO RUSSIA-CHINA'S US-KILLING HAMMER! NO MATTER WHAT PC DIVERSIONARY "INCIDENTS" OCCUR BETWEEN NK AND SK-JAPAN-USA, THE REAL CAMPAIGN/BATTLE FOCII IS DOWN WHERE TAIWAN IS, WHERE US FORCES AREN'T IN STRENGTH! In true Lefty dialecticism-alternatism-alteriorism, the anti-US ME limited wars will be successful "quickies" in favor of the US and US-led occupation, whereas EAST ASIA-POA will be protracted and prob very bloody. AT home, America and her Clinton-alleged Communist- and anti-American American heartland/MidWest have HAIL HILLARY and her O'Reilly-ian DemLeft Betty Crocker/Traitor-crats and anti-Fascist Fascists-for-Communism = Fascistas to contend with while all these are going on! Our warriors are fighting Saddam's army disguised as insurgents, and they will fight Iran or Syria's army disguised as insurgents, and they will fight the Norkies army, et al. disguised as insurgents! FASCISM, includ GLOBAL FASCISM, however temp, = the "NEW COMMUNISM/SOCIALISM" = relabeled by the Failed Left as DE-REGULATED/COMPETITIVE COMMUNISM OR SOCIALISM> is NOT just vestiges amongst others of the CORPORATE-ETHNIC STATE or CORPORATE-ETHNIC SOCIALISM, BUT ALSO CORPORATE-ETHNIC WARFARE, includ but not limited to INTER-/INTRA-CONSUMER WARFARE!? The Left covertly or discreetly acknowledges the superiority of Rightism while overtly-publicly denying it at the same time - you know, secular ethics where one doesn't have to believe in God or morals to tell the truth.

9 Reflecting further...
The obvious precedent for "Axis of Evil" was "Evil Empire", driving a signal through a known distortion pattern. I've long thought that there was a second precedent as well, namely "I've just signed legislation...". A certain WH staffer has the background to understand the impact of that one, including likely noting the reference by Yeltsin when he actually did the deed (I watched it live, she probably did, too).

In contrast, it seems that the mad mullahs seem to have reacted a bit differently.
