What does Bush mean when he says AXIS OF EVIL?

Answer 1

The term 'Axis of Evil' was used by Bush in his January 2002, State of the Union Address to describe nations that, in his opinion, "sponsor terror."

He specifically named Iraq, Iran, and North Korea in that speech.

Basically, any country that doesn't fail down and do/act exactly by Bush's beliefs and demands are in what he called the axis of evil.

'Axis of Evil' is just a term used to manipulate the masses for support for his Christian Extremist War on Islam.

Answer 2

It's called evoking a powerful memory for propaganda purposes. In this case He's tieing in Iran Iraq and North Korea to the World War II Axis Powers of Germany, Italy and Japan. They also love bringing up the Islamic Fascism specter as often as they can, which, bringing up fascism is actually so utterly hypocritical it's laughable on it's face. I site as an example, the 14 points of fascism from the website Project for the Old American Century, check it out it might open your eyes a bit.

Answer 3

Axis powers in WW2 were Germany, Japan, and sometimes Italy. Axis of Evil Bush refers to includes: Iraq, Syria sometimes, Iran (nuclear power/supplying arms to insurgents and terrorists in Iraq), Al Queda everywhere, the Taliban in Afghanistan, and, depending on the speech writer, maybe North Korea -- any country or entity that GW Bush feels threatens the well-being of the USA.

Answer 4

Referring back to WWII.. look up the Axis Powers.. they were what the Ailed Powers were fighting against. In general axis is an alliance. It's not complicated, there are Evil countries that are in a loose alliance against the world.

Answer 5

In WWII, Germany, Italy, and a few other countries made up what was called the Axis of Evil. Today, Iran, N. Korea and a few others today are now considered the Axis of Evil. That simply means that they are countries that must be considered dangerous, and may even be teamed up together to force their will upon the world, in a way that binds us to their will, restrict us.

The US, UK, UN, etc try to promote peace, and democracy. Not communism, dictatorism, etc. That is the Axis of Evil.

Answer 6

the known inhabitants are stupid and the ruling elite could desire to make the language rather ordinary, like the be conscious evil. it extremely is purely too long and perplexing to describe the lengths that Iran and NK bypass to in attempting to destroy u . s . a . of america it extremely is much less stressful to easily call them evil. Obama is making a mistake in no longer conveying this simply by fact whilst the time comes for action human beings will say "we disagree simply by fact we don't see them as evil" this could enable the plotters to proceed to undermine u . s . a . of america.

Answer 7

Iraq, Iran and North Korea.
