Syria was not mentioned as a member of the "axis of evil" by US President George Bush in his State of the Union message in early 2002. But on Monday, an Administration official said that along with Libya and Cuba, Syria was regarded as a member of the "junior varsity axis of evil".

Cool. There are levels of Evil. Perhaps now that Iraq is out of the Axis of Evil they can start fielding appilications for someone to take their place. Maybe France.
