"Axis of evil" is a term used to stigmatize countries against which the U.S. considers launching military conflicts in the near future.
In his State of the Union Address in January 2002, President George W. Bush labeled Iran, North Korea and Iraq as part of an "axis of evil".
"States like these (Iran, North Korea and Iraq), and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world. By seeking weapons of mass destruction, these regimes pose a grave and growing danger. They could provide these arms to terrorists, giving them the means to match their hatred. They could attack our allies or attempt to blackmail the United States. In any of these cases, the price of indifference would be catastrophic."
Well, unconsciously Bush was describing the acts and policies carried out by his administration in the four years following his historic speech.
It's the U.S. who threatened and continues to threaten the world peace by launching two illegal wars, one in Afghanistan and another in Iraq, and supporting a third one against Palestinians.
