Commenting on the traditional State of the Union address given by US President George W. Bush, a columnist in the London-based Arabic language newspaper al-Quds al-?Arabi called the American leader ?a leader thirsty for bloodshed and for declaring war on half the world to satisfy a sense of vengeance and in submission to the sick Israeli incitement that stems from the interests of the Hebrew state - even if [satisfying] these interests comes at the expense of the destruction of the entire world.? According to the al-Quds al-?Arabi article, the proof of the US submission to Israeli interests is that ?[t]he triangle of evil of which the American president spoke poses no genuine threat to U.S. security and interests - yet this triangle, primarily the Iraqi and Iranian sides, jeopardize Israel's aspirations of expansion??
?President Bush's fiery address reminds us of the speeches of the Nazi, Adolph Hitler,? writes the columnist, ?His threatening of Iran and Iraq remind us of Hitler's threatening of Poland and Czechoslovakia.? The world is under obligation to stop the American President, for ?[h]e is like an unbalanced man given a rifle, about to go out into the street to start shooting at passersby.?
The al-Quds al-?Arabi newspaper article claimed that US President Bush tried, in his speech, to ?terrify the Arab and Islamic countries, and emphasized Iran because it has the greatest influence in thwarting his conspiracies in Afghanistan.? In doing so, Bush ?accomplished the miracle of bringing Iran and Iraq closer? [and] created a global front against the unjustified policy of fear that he leads.? The columnist reaches the conclusion, ?The axis of evil in the world is not Iran, Iraq, and North Korea; it is America and Israel??
Adopting a threatening tone, the author writes, ?Iraq and Iran are not the Taliban, and the same goes for North Korea. They have advanced weaponry, and the cultural experience of thousands of years in the depths of history? If the American president has lost his wits because of the acts of one man such as bin Laden? what state will he be in should he face an alliance of Iran, Iraq, North Korea, Syria, Hamas, Jihad and Hizbullah - all of which have a rich history of struggle, wars... and 'frightening' experience in carrying out operations abroad??
