i think the speech was meant more for the domestic audience. despite that, i think it was very unwise to put those 3 countries together.
iran and irak are long standing enemies in the middle east region, so by putting them together you are in fact allying all the region against the us (as if they needed another excuse). north korea, as ziroc well said, has one of the most powerful militaries in the world... and china's support. need i say more?
the rest of the world (europe, south america, etc) saw it as an arrogant speech (the us has the most nuclear weapons, and its the only country ever to use them) and a reminder of the dark old days of the reagan era (and the communist evil empire). i agree with azure, evil is being used waay to much nowadays, and mixing religion with politics is never good.
and donut... lol [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] yep, maybe they cheered and applauded so much as not to let the guy actually speak...
