You can say the US leadership are bullies, I agree with you. But they still rule from within the law, and with a mandate from the America people. Sure they manipulate the press as much as they can, but ultimately the press is free, and the people will search out the free press. Yes Saddam is a bully, yes the North Korean leadership are bullies they deserve to get kicked out and hope they both do. Iran seems to be a democracy, as much as the US (and more so then the UK), so I do not think it is fair to include them Bush's famous Axis of Evil comment. Bullies only understand force and force is probably what we should give them.

Korean leadership would admit to cattle mutilations and UFOs to avoid being singled out for vitiation by the empire. Iran is past the cult of personality of the Ayatollah K. and is in many ways more democratic than S. Arabia. But I'm pretty sure the US establishment wants to revise some history here.
