When the president of the United States makes use of a phrase such as "the axis of evil," it may well be meant not as a literal description but, instead, as an allusion. So, criticizing it as if it had been meant as a description will miss the point. Still, it might have been an attempt to call to mind something important with a quick turn of phrase.

In America you're either good or bad. In Europe you're just different shades of bad!

Evil:

ABUSE-Oppression and Horror Inside North Korea
... "Seven-year-old children, 70 year old ladies — they all speak about torture, concentration camp, mass execution, rape, about baby-killing, about every cruel biological medical experiment you can imagine, how they are using human beings as guinea pigs to develop anthrax for example," he said.

Vollertsen learned the regime singles out dissenters who have a religious bent.

"All those defectors told me that the Christians in North Korea in those concentration camps were treated in the worst way," he said. "They were talking about all those executions, about all those people in their family, their grandparents, their children who went to a prison camp because their father was reading a Bible."

He continued, "They will not allow a second generation of Christians, so when there is a young woman who delivers a baby and she is a Christian, she must kill her own baby with her own hands, or some border guards will beat this baby to death and afterward they will feed this baby to the dogs of the guards."

Not only is there evil "in the world" - there are evil people in the world. Some people are EVIL. Yassir Arafat is EVIL. Priests who molest little boys are EVIL. Mothers who drown their children are EVIL....

Some good is coming out of this worldwide discussion. Even the Saudi leadership condemned their own "morality" police for the death of the 15 "scarf-less" girls. And from the link above:

But when President Bush named North Korea in the "Axis of Evil," some say the cord of silence was broken. And that could begin to shed new light on the unforgettable faces of those who live and die in this communist land.

"And when we hear all these stories we will be ashamed," Vollertsen said. "We will be shocked that we were so ignorant for nearly 50 years now, that we simply didn't care because we did not know. "

The first step against evil people and the evil things they do to others is to identify them and to label them as evil!

That simple label claries and eliminates the Bravo Sierra PR that the evil doers have going for them.

Then, you inform the evil doers and their supporters that you will eliminate them like we did to the Nazis and Imperial Japanese in WWII!

This is why GW's axis of evil comments has the murdering Islamic head Terrorists and their financial backers so up tight! They know that being labeled as evil is the first step of the elimination of them and the evil they bring about on innocent people!
