This pretty much says everything, I wanted to say about Bush and his "Axis of Evil" pledge.
"BY HIS own standard George Bush is failing in his pledge, set out in the state-of-the-union address in 2002, that �the United States of America will not permit the world's most dangerous regimes to threaten us with the world�s most destructive weapons�. Of the three countries he named at the time as part of the �axis of evil�, Mr Bush invaded Iraq but found no nuclear programme and he has been unable to stop Iran from rushing ahead with uranium enrichment that many fear is designed to make atomic bombs. This week, he proved powerless to stop North Korea from carrying out what it claimed was its first nuclear test."
