Axis of Evil losing an Axis?

So it looks like North Korea is no longer a threat. Now agreed to a plan to have its entire nuclear weapons programmed disabled by the end of the year, Bush calls it a "diplomatic victory for the US", as if the US were the only ones being diplomats (I would say they don't even live up to that standard).

And now we parallel this to Iran, where in the media we basically have war simulator programs about "what we bomb first". Bush gave his typical cowardly answer, stating he would only go into talks with Iran ‘Yeah, just so long as we can achieve something, so long as we are able to get our objective,’. We know what your objective is, Mr. Bush, but you need to make the effort to push it, diplomatically. It seems to me like we're not even really trying.
