Analysis
The term is a conscious pun made on President George W. Bush's term "axis of evil", which he used in the 2002 State of the Union address to decry Iraq, Iran, and North Korea. "Axis of evil", which was coined partly by Bush speechwriter David Frum, became a contemporary meme and used in a wide variety of contexts. The word "axis" itself comes from the World War II term "axis powers" — Germany, Italy, and Japan — a label Germany and Italy had originally given to themselves.

Famous quotes containing the word analysis:
“... the big courageous acts of life are those one never hears of and only suspects from having been through like experience. It takes real courage to do battle in the unspectacular task. We always listen for the applause of our co-workers. He is courageous who plods on, unlettered and unknown.... In the last analysis it is this courage, developing between man and his limitations, that brings success.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
