Comments from John Cleese...

Bitter after being snubbed for membership in the "Axis of Evil," Libya, China, and Syria today announced they had formed the "Axis of Just as Evil," which they said would be more evil than that stupid Iran-Iraq-North Korea axis President Bush warned of in his State of the Union address.
Axis of Evil members, however, immediately dismissed the new axis as having, for starters, a really dumb name. "Right. They are Just as Evil... in their dreams!" declared North Korean leader Kim Jong-il. "Everybody knows we're the best evils... best at being evil... we're the best."
Diplomats from Syria denied they were jealous over being excluded, although they conceded they did ask if they could join the Axis of Evil. "They told us it was full," said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. "An Axis can't have more than three countries," explained Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. "This is not my rule, it's tradition. In World War II you had Germany, Italy, and Japan in the evil Axis. So you can only have three, and a secret handshake. Ours is  wicked cool." 
International reaction to Bush's Axis of Evil declaration was swift, as within minutes, France surrendered. Elsewhere, peer-conscious nations rushed to gain triumvirate status in what became a game of geopolitical chairs.
Cuba, Sudan, and Serbia said they had formed the Axis  of Somewhat Evil, forcing Somalia to join with Uganda  and Myanmar in the Axis of Occasionally Evil, while  Bulgaria, Indonesia and Russia established the Axis of  Not So Much Evil Really As Just Generally Disagreeable.  With the criteria suddenly expanded and all the  desirable clubs filling up, Sierra Leone, E l Salvador, and Rwanda applied to be called the Axis of Countries  That Aren't the Worst But Certainly Won't Be Asked to  Host the Olympics; Canada, Mexico, and Australia  formed the Axis of Nations That Are Actually Quite Nice But Secretly Have Nasty Thoughts About America, while Spain, Scotland, and New Zealand established the Axis of Countries That Be Allowed to Ask Sheep to Wear  Lipstick.
"That's not a threat, really, just something we like to do," said Scottish Executive First Minister Jack  McConnell.
While wondering if the other nations of the world  weren't perhaps making fun of him, a cautious Bush  granted approval for most axes, although he  rejected the establishment of the Axis of Countries  Whose Names End in "Guay," accusing one of its members of filing a false application. Officials from  Paraguay, Uruguay, and Chadguay denied the charges.
