摘要

It was one of George Bush's catchier turns of phrase-the "axis of evil" consisting of North Korea, Iran, and Iraq. How evil, or even menacing, they really were is debatable. And it was not much of an axis: Iran and Iraq hated each other. North Korea exported nuclear know-how, but probably no more than other countries such as Pakistan, a supposed American ally.rnOf late another trio, bound together by dislike for America, and confidence based on surging energy revenues, has appeared: an "axis of diesel", as some have named it, comprising Russia, Iran and Venezuela. At least before the present financial crisis, the trio had been hobnobbing happily. Russia has sold billions of dollars' worth of arms to Venezuela and blocked Western attempts to slap tougher sanctions on Iran. The Kremlin is also selling air-defence systems to the Iranians.rnYet in this case, too, the idea of an "axis" is exaggerated. Each of the trio has different aims. Venezuela wants to create an anti-American block in Latin America.
