The Axis of Evil

According to a Reuters story this morning, the US is conceding to Iraqi Islamists. What this means, simply put, is that we have another Iran in the Middle East because the Shi'ites run Iran and now they'll run Iraq. Therefore, if the Axis of Evil including one Iran totaled three countries before the war, it now looks like it will include three countries after the war: Korea, Iran & Iran II.

I suppose this could be taken to mean we've accomplished nothing. Almost 2,000 US deaths, tens of thousands of US wounded for life, the Middle East more unstable than ever, oil prices through the roof, US diplomacy the laughing stock of the world, a whole new generation of Muslim kids who hate us, Bin Laden still a free man, hundreds of billions of US tax dollars wasted...

Now that's quite a record of accomplishment. Hail to the Chief!
