No Axis, Just Spin

It always took a bit of believing (in fact, it admitted of no belief) that North Korea, of all places, was "sponsoring" Islamist terrorism. Of course, the same was true of Saddam's Iraq, and "sponsorship" of the Bin Laden school of Sunni pastiche is also inconceivable on the part of Shi'ite Iran.

So now that even the dying Bush Administration has admitted the bleeding obvious about North Korea (apparently being perfectly happy even for her to have a nuclear bomb), will it, and every one of its little helpers, make the same admission of the bleeding obvious about Iran and about the former regime in Iraq, and apologise unreservedly for the latter's illegal overthrow, which has turned one of the Arab world's principal bulwarks against Islmaic militancy into a hotbed of that militancy?

If not, why not?
