Once More, With Feeling

Huh.

These states suck:

The United Nations General Assembly on Wednesday condemned Syria for widespread human rights abuses and expressed concern about such violations in Iran and North Korea, but it welcomed pledges by Iran's president to improve in some areas. ...

The resolutions on these countries have become an annual rite. They intensify international pressure and further isolate those states but have no legal consequences. All three countries lobby hard against adoption of the resolutions.

It's almost lie they're ... what's the name I'm trying to think of? Oh yeah, like an Axis of Evil.

No, wait. That was Iran, North Korea, and another murderous, WMD-threatening, Baathist minority dictatorship.

So maybe this is the Evil Hat Trick.

But regardless of what we name them, thank goodness the international community names them as evil every year. That's real progress in ending the evil, no?
