In this case the ventriloquist was one David Frum, a
Canadian Zionist journalist for whom "evil" means "enemy
of Israel." The word "axis" was intended to equate the

the minor distinction that the original Axis really was a
working alliance, whereas the "axis of evil" trio aren't
even on speaking terms.
