In 2002, The Axis of Evil was a name given to Iraq, North Korea and Iran by then President Bush. At the State of the Union Address Bush alleged that these countries harbored terrorist and were a threat to the United States. He labeled these countries a threat to the United States because he insisted that they possessed weapons of mass destruction. However, according to Give Me Liberty, there existed no evidence to support his claim and more importantly Iraq and Iran had previously went to war against one another. I find this important to know because it gave the public an idea that some of his accusations were without evidence and therefore some of his actions should not have been supported.
