Axis of evil collapsing

Truthdig reports on trouble brewing in the Axis of Evil. Who shall we hate and fear next?

Reacting to recent threats by Iranian President Mahmoud Amadinejad to inflict “harm and pain” on the United States in retaliation for clamping down on its nuclear program, North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il today called Mr. Amadinejad “a total whack job.”

Kim’s comment about President Amadinejad surprised many in the international community, since it is highly unusual for one member of the Axis of Evil to criticize another in public.

But according to the North Korean dictator, “When Mahmoud shoots his mouth off like that he makes us all look like a bunch of nuts.”

“It’s the Axis of Evil,” Kim added, “not the Axis of Lunatics.”
