Dear President Bush
Please do not overlook North Korea or Iran either .

Can't we just declare war and take them out?
Please wipe out the Axis of Evil .
We will support you.

Yes, I believe that's it and I wasn't too pleased to read that report.

Fair enough. And I quit listening to Condi and Bush at the fist whimpering about civilian deaths and the need for a ceasefire. That sure turned out wonderfully.

That would make too much sense.
