Just a side question here, does anybody know what, if anything, "Axis" stands for? I've read dozens of WW2 books and have never found a clear answer. I understand "Allies" (countries who stick together to fight a common enemy) but always wondered what "Axis" means.

Good question. I don't actually expect any of those countries to meet with Iraq, but in historical perspective, they may as well.
