Evil's Growing Axis

An alarming report aired moments ago on ABC Good Morning America's first news segment. The report detailed the defection of a major from Myanmar who carried with him thousands of pages of documents proving the nascent Burmese WMD program is receiving aid, material, and technical support from the madmen proliferators of North Korea on both their nuclear weapons development and the missiles with which to deliver them. North Korea and Iran remain the two certain member nations in the "evil" clique, but it seems the heavy-handed murderers who run Burma are rushing to join the club. I am not so sure Syria which has again subsumed Lebanon with the aid of Iran and Hizbullah does not merit membership, and both Russia, which readily sells advanced weapons like the S-300 anti-aircraft missile system to these misbehaving states, and China, who trades massively with them, do not merit mention if not in the "evil" category, certainly in the not really good department. Both Russia and China use their UN clout to extend their protection to these hell-bent regimes and prevent multilateral bodies from containing the damage that the new Axis of Evil is causing.
