No. They didn't. Take off your DBM inspired blinders. They were just as evil before the speech, but the DBM was ignoring them, as was the Clinton administration throughout the 90s. But they were just as evil.
All that happened was that things they had been working on for a very long time came to fruition. Buying into the DBM "Bush made them bad" idea is foolish and contributes to the evil that they do. Don't be an enabler of evil by commission or omission and certainly don't believe anything they say about the world out there.
They were evil before the speech. Now they're evil and have tested long range missiles and supposedly nuclear weapons. That seems to me to be more evil than before.
I'm stunned that Maher actually defended Saddam Hussein while knocking the U.S. I souldn't be, but that sort of thing always shocks me. Maher pushed the phony stat of 655,000 people killed by the US and her allies in the Iraq war while arguing against the one million killed under Saddam figure.
OK, I'll bite what is DBM ?
