Bush's Axis Of Evil speech CREATED threats inside Iran and North Korea, fueling the paranoia of those countries' leadership and making them accelerate any WMD programs they had for self-defense. Up until then thre was no imminent threat from either of these countries. Even North Korea was perfectly happy to remain its crazy isolated self.

What was Bush thinking besides rousing up the right-wing base in this country? Axis Of Evil were three of the studipest words a president has ever uttered, right up there with "Bring em on!".

That's quite mangled brain thinking as usual. kNocking over a country in 2 weeks with 150,000 men give one all kinds of credibility. And after doing it in face of all that whining by UN toads and now 6 months later getting a unanimous vote saying the US is AOK in fixing Iraq, well LOL what a silly analysis your provide.

Hysterical blather erupts and then reason and credibility kick the crap out of it and you get a unanimous vote.

What do you suggest be done about North Korea, and when do should it have been done? Remember that roughly 10 million South Koreans (in Seoul) live within striking distance of North Korean artillery (and their nuclear weapons - if/when they have/had them).

re:"North Korea and Iran should have been handled prior to Iraq. Considering the situation it has turned out to be now, attack on Iraq diminished the credibility and stature of US considerably."

Only among Bush hating morons and those who did not believe America credible in the first place.....its quite clear at this point that the Administration was entirely correct to go in and remove Saddam...
