I don't see anything wrong in recognizing evil. And if we could rid the world of these evil regimes...

I don't think that's the point. We could rid the world of them because they're "evil" or we could rid the world of them because they're "menacing." Evil has a moralistic, sanctimonious tone. It's a word of preachers and children and members of Bush's core. Menacing and treacherous are dignified, adult words suitable for a great power with a noble cause. We could implement the exact same agenda under the banner of either. His point is that we should have chosen the latter.
