The axis of evil....

AXIS OF EVIL WANNABEES

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of

Evil", Libya,China and Syria today announced that they had formed the

"Axis of Just as Evil", which they said would be more evil than that stupid

Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the

Union address.

Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new

Axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are just as

evil .... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il.

"Everybody knows we're the best evils . .. best at being evil . . . we're

the best."

Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although

they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis ofEvil. "They told

us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An

axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam

Hussein.

"This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had

Germany,Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So, you can only have

three, and a secret handshake. Ours is wickedly cool."

International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was

swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious

nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what has become a game of

geopolitical chairs.

Cuba, Sudan and Serbia announced that they had formed the

"Axis of Somewhat Evil", forcing Somalia to join with Uganda and Myanmar in

the "Axis of Occasionally Evil", while Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia

established the "Axis of Not So Much Evil Really as Just Generally

Disagreeable".

With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the desirable

clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, El Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called

the "Axis of Countries That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked

to Host the Olympics".

Canada, Mexico and Australia formed the "Axis of Nations That

Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Some Nasty Thoughts About

America", while Scotland, New Zealand and Spain established the "Axis of

Countries That Want Sheep to Wear Lipstick". "That's not a threat, really,

just something we like to do", said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack

McConnell.

While wondering if the other nations of the world weren't perhaps making fun

of him, a cautious Bush granted approval for most axes, although he rejected

the establishment of the "Axis of Countries Whose Names End in'Guay",

accusing one of its members of filing a false application.

Officials from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.

Israel, meanwhile, insisted it didn't want to join any Axis,

but privately world leaders said that's only because no one asked them.

"An axis can't have more than three countries", explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

Vel, en akse kan kun bestå av to land som angir en himmelretning, slik som Tyskland og Italia(nord over sør) eller USA og Irak (vest mot øst). USA og Irak blir her krigens akse, mens Tyskland og Italia var fasismens akse.
