Talk:Axis of Evil

USA as part of Axis of Evil

Anyone else think the USA is part of the Axis of Evil? I think the Axis of Evil of rogue states consists of: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, United States of America, Yemen, North Korea. Others have had the same thought. So Bush Jr. had three right, but he was missing out on the other four. (((Zack Martin)))^™ 06:43, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Axis of Evil is/was defined by George W. Bush. So no, none of countries you state are part of it. Ace^Moderator 06:47, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Why must we adopt his definition? I quite adore the irony of defining the term to include the country he led. (((Zack Martin)))^™ 06:58, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Because he defined the term "Axis of Evil". You can make up whatever you want it mean (it isn't like it'll be your first time making things up) but Axis of Evil was a term created, defined and promulgated by GWB. Including our own definitions here would be confusing, arbitrary and down right idiotic. Ace^Moderator 07:04, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia gives a list of other "axes of evil". And other people have defined the term differently, including to include the USA: someone else, independently of me, came up with the exact same definition which I use - [[1], [2]. And others have come up with other, different definitions - e.g. [3]. (((Zack Martin)))^™ 07:13, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

All other uses were post GWB's usage. You wanna discuss your own definition of Axis of Evil do it in an essay. Ace^Moderator 07:15, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
