Laz, did you happen to see that Commie Colin Powell this morning on Fox News? He is an idiot. E.D. asked him how he, Colin, could refer to Usama as a Terrorist but not refer to Arafathead as a Terrorist. He said Arafat has done something for the piece process where Usama hasn't, whatever that means.

Don't fault Colin. He is probably acting under orders. Don't forget how IsARat plays this game: Talking nice to one party, and talking malevolently to another. Have you not thought that maybe Colin is playing 'Nice Cop' to Rumsfeld's 'Bad Cop'?

The reason is evident from the comments by two of the nations in the Axis of Evil. They're threatening to use oil as a weapon.

It's probably the only play they have right now - up the oil price, try to throw our economy into a sluggish state again, and weaken Bush politically. There's only one other problem. This ain't in a vacuum, and we're still a little touchy after 9/11.

Of course, this does make nice ads for pro-ANWR drilling folks, and that could hurt the Dems pretty bad, IMHO.
