Why would North Korea want to bomb Los Angeles? The Russians never did, nor the Chinese, and they had a lot more bombs and far more effective ways of delivering them.

I suppose if America were to start an all out attack on Korea something might happen, but in spite of all that talk about "axis of evil" I can't quite see that happening.

An odd term axis - it implies two countries which are allied with each other, and at odds with everyone else. Can't see how it applies to three countries, two of which are desperately hostile to each other, and the third which has nothing at all in common with either of the others.

If you are looking for "two countries which are allied with each other, and at odds with everyone else" it strikes me that the USA and the UK are the best candidates for the term. I suppose Bush could try talking about an "axis of good" but I somehow think it wouldn't catch on.
