29 Jan 2002 Jahr - George Bush's "Axis of Evil" Labeling

Beschreibung:

In President George Bush's first State of the Union address on January 29, 2002, a main discussion topic was that of North Korea, Iran, and Iraq. Bush, labeling the three countries the "Axis of Evil", called them out on account of their threat to human life around the world. North Korea was developing plans for nuclear bombs that could kill millions. Iran was constantly searching for weapons of mass destruction. Iraq was developing terrorist groups. The labeling is significant because it emphasized the areas that most needed high supervision.
