Labeling them so offensively serves no purpose but to enflame a tense situation, as you can see so clearly today.

Do you actually believe that Bush "labeled" them this way indiscriminantly? A president who has proceeded with an extreme sense of direction and precision? He did not make the remark willy-nilly.

Couple this with the perception that countries in the AoE will be dealt with force (Iraq is the first?) and there you have it.

As we have seen, the "perceptions" of our enemies, as well as that of liberals, has been dead wrong. We DIDN'T attack Iraq without UN support. We DIDN'T fail to build a coalition. We HAVEN'T gone off half-cocked. Bush DIDN'T ignore the position of Colin Powell, and Powell HASN'T resigned in disgust. Perceptions, frankly, don't matter. Actions matter.
