NORTH KOREA: AXIS MEMBER UPDATE: Charles Krauthammer suggests why North Korea got the big nod from Bush:

Thank God for North Korea. Mentioning it is the equivalent of strip-searching an 80-year-old Irish nun at airport security: It is our defense against ethnic profiling. Right now North Korea is too destitute and too isolated to be capable of anything but spasmodic violence. But it has the virtue of being non-Islamic.

So we need North Korea in the Axis so we don't come off as un-Islamic --it's a public relations ploy. How amazingly cynical. He also explains the true message of this State Of The Union speech: Iraq is next. Via Best Of The Web.
